Chemical Structure

4-(1H-Imidazol-2-yl)benzaldehyde CAS 1022158-42-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 172.18 g/mol gives 4-(1H-Imidazol-2-yl)benzaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-(1H-Imidazol-2-yl)benzaldehyde (CAS 1022158-42-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H8N2O and a molecular weight of 172.18 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 4-(1H-Imidazol-2-yl)benzaldehyde (C10H8N2O) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(1H-Imidazol-2-yl)benzaldehyde meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
