1-(3-Chloropropyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-one
1-(3-Chloropropyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-one (CAS 915922-15-5) is a halogenated heterocyclic building block with the molecular formula C6H9ClN2O and a molar mass of 160.60 g/mol. It pairs a 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-one (2-imidazolone) ring with a pendant 3-chloropropyl chain, whose primary alkyl chloride is a reactive handle for nucleophilic substitution. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade intermediate for medicinal and fine-chemical synthesis.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a small C3-to-C8 imidazol-2-one scaffold for assembling more complex heterocyclic and drug-like molecules. The intact 2-imidazolone ring is retained while the side chain is elaborated.
Alkylating intermediate
The terminal 3-chloropropyl group is a primary alkyl chloride that undergoes nucleophilic substitution with amines, alcohols, thiols and other nucleophiles. This makes the compound useful for installing a three-carbon tether bearing an imidazol-2-one head group.
Pharmaceutical and medicinal-chemistry research
Functions as a versatile intermediate in discovery and process chemistry where an imidazol-2-one motif and a displaceable chloride are required. It is offered for research and development use only.
Side-chain tethering and linker chemistry
The chloropropyl spacer allows the imidazol-2-one unit to be coupled to amines, azacycles or aromatic systems, providing a defined three-carbon linker in structure-activity studies and library synthesis.
