Application
1,3-Dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone may be used:As substitute solvent for HMPA in the synthesis of 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzene. As solvent during the α-regioselective prenylation of imines.A component of mobile phase during size-exclusion chromatographic analysis of cellulose.
General description
1,3-Dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI) is an imidazolidine derivative. It is reported to act as a promoter by minimizing the formation of dialkylation byproducts and accelerating the rate of monoalkylation of γ-butyrolactone. Conversion of CO2 to form lower alcohols by homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation using DMI as solvent has been investigated.
Other Notes
Solvent used in various synthetic organic transformations. Studied in the formation of functionally stabilized hydrosilanediyl-transition metal complexes produced photochemically from arylsilanes.
Aprotic, dipolar solvent which often can be used as a substitute for the carcinogenic HMPA
