1-Cyanoethyl-2-Ethyl-4-methylimidazole / KylinCure EMI24CN

KylinCure EMI 24 CN CAS No. 23996-25-0 Molecular Formula: C9H13N3 Molecular Weight: 163.22   Synonyms 1-Cyanoethyl-2-ethyl-4-Methylimidazole EMI-24-CN Latent Epoxy Curing Agent   Description KylinCure EMI24CN is a substituted Imidazole derivative compound valued for its dual functionality (imidazole reactivity and cyanoethyl group versatility), making it critical in high-performance polymers and specialty chemical synthesis. Its role in epoxy curing systems is particularly significant in electronics encapsulation and composite materials. It exhibits high solubility in polar organic solvents (e.g., ethanol, acetone, DMF, THF), but low solubility in water due to hydrophobic substituents. It's stable at room temperature but may decompose under prolonged exposure to high temperatures (>150°C) or strong acids/bases. It's imidazole ring acts as a weak base and can participate in coordination chemistry. The cyanoethyl group (-CH₂CH₂CN) offers reactivity for nucleophilic additions or polyme…
