Chemical Structure

2-Imidazolidinon CAS 120-93-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Imidazolidinon is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Imidazolidinon (CAS 120-93-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H6N2O, MW 86.09 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Imidazolidinon is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 86.09 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
