1. Imidazole

   Imidazole (ImH) is an organic compound with the formula C3N2H4. It is a white or colourless solid that is soluble in water, producing a mildly alkaline solution. In chemistry, it is an aromatic heterocycle, classified as a diazole, and has non-adjacent nitrogen atoms in meta-substitution. Many natural products, especially alkaloids, contain the imidazole ring. These imidazoles share the 1,3-C3N2 ring but feature varied substituents. This ring system is present in important biological building blocks, such as histidine and the related hormone histamine. Many drugs contain an imidazole ring, such as certain antifungal drugs, the nitroimidazole series of antibiotics, and the sedative midazolam.When fused to a pyrimidine ring, it forms a purine, which is the most widely occurring nitrogen-containing heterocycle in nature.The name "imidazole" was coined in 1887 by the German chemist Arthur Rudolf Hantzsch (1857–1935).

   Imidazole is a heterocyclic organic compound that contains three carbon atoms, two nitrogen atoms, and two double bonds. It functions as an alkaline and basic sponge and is used primarily in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry due to its presence in essential biomolecules such as the amino acid histidine and some enzymes. It can exist in two tautomeric forms due to protonation and deprotonation processes.
