3-(1H-Imidazol-4-yl)propyl di(p-fluorophenyl)methyl ether hydrochloride (CAS 182069-10-9)

3-(1H-Imidazol-4-yl)propyl di(p-fluorophenyl)methyl ether hydrochloride is a compound of particular interest in the field of supramolecular chemistry, where its imidazole ring, reminiscent of histidine′s side chain, is used to explore pi-stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions that are vital for designing advanced polymers and molecular assemblies. Its utility extends to catalysis research, leveraging the imidazole′s ability to coordinate with metal ions, potentially leading to the development of innovative catalysts. Moreover, the structure′s similarity to histamine receptor-active molecules makes it a useful model in biochemical studies of receptor-ligand interactions, while the ether and fluorophenyl groups increase its lipophilicity, allowing research into its membrane permeability. Additionally, the compound′s potential for forming fluorescent probes is of interest due to its capacity for light interaction, which is beneficial for cellular imaging applications, and its hydrochloride form is favorable for enhanced solubility in experimental studies.
