Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(1-benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate CAS 1197631-86-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-(1-benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate (CAS 1197631-86-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H14N2O3, MW 258.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 2-(1-benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 258.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-(1-benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate 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.
