1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride is a widely used ionic liquid synthesized via quaternization of N-methylimidazole with 1-chlorobutane. Its molecular formula is C8H15ClN2, and it bears CAS number 65037-31-4. This compound serves as a fundamental building block in green chemistry due to its negligible vapor pressure.
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis. While generally low volatility, avoid direct skin contact and ensure adequate ventilation during handling. Not approved for clinical pharmaceutical use.
