Following is a structural formula for imidazole, a building block of the essential amino acid histidine It is also a building block of histamine, a compound all too familiar to people with allergies and takers of antihistamines. When imidazole is dissolved in water, proton transfer to it gives a cation. Is this cation better represented by structure A or B? Explain. H + H,O= + ОН or H H. Imidazole (A) (В)
