Application

1,3-Dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone may be used:As substitute solvent for hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) in the synthesis of 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzene. As solvent during the α-regioselective prenylation of imine.As component of mobile phase for the 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.
