The Uses of 2-Ethylimidazole

2-Ethylimidazole is used as internal standard in the quantification of 4-(5-)methylimidazole (4MI) in coffee by GC-MS method. It is a versatile intermediate used as a building block for active ingredients as well as in epoxy curing.

The Uses of 2-Ethylimidazole

2-Ethylimidazole is a selective catalyst for epoxy and urethanes reactions. 2-Ethylimidazole is used for two components epoxy systems; for modification of epoxy resins and for preparation of polyurethanes.
