4,5-Dichloroimidazole(CAT: M086686) is a halogenated heterocyclic compound featuring two chlorine atoms substituted at the 4- and 5-positions of the imidazole ring. This compound serves as a versatile building block in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials chemistry due to its electron-deficient ring and reactive sites. It is commonly used in the synthesis of biologically active molecules, including kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. The dichloro substitution enhances its reactivity in nucleophilic substitution and cross-coupling reactions, allowing for the development of diverse functional derivatives.
