1-(2-Ethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propan-2-one hydrochloride CAS 1158291-39-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-(2-Ethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propan-2-one hydrochloride.

1-(2-Ethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propan-2-one hydrochloride (CAS 1158291-39-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H12N2OHCl and a molecular weight of 188.66 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 1-(2-Ethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propan-2-one hydrochloride is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 188.66 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), 1-(2-Ethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propan-2-one hydrochloride 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.
