 |  | 1-Acetylimidazole Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | white to beige or light tan adhering crystals or |  | Uses | Relatively specific reagent for tyrosyl residue acetylation. Reagent used in the synthesis of annulated imidazole derivatives. |  | Uses | Acetylating agent for capping unreacted amino groups in peptide synthesis. |  | Uses | It is a mild acylating agent and its reactivity can be enhanced by quaternization with, e.g. benzyl bromide. 1-Acetylimidazole was used as acetylation reagent for amino groups. It was also employed for acetylation of histones. It is relatively specific reagent for tyrosyl residue acetylatioa dn a reagent used in the synthesis of annulated imidazole derivatives. |  | Definition | ChEBI: N-acetylimidazole is a N-acylimidazole. |  | General Description | Rate of solvolysis of 1-acetylimidazole in acid solutions was evaluated. Reaction of 1-acetylimidazole with orthophosphate and adenosine-5′-phosphate has been reported. |  | Purification Methods | It is recrystallised from isopropenyl acetate and dried in a vacuum over P2O5.
