Chemical Structure

1-(Pyrazin-2-yl)-1h-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid CAS 1342526-35-5 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-(Pyrazin-2-yl)-1h-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid.

1-(Pyrazin-2-yl)-1h-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 1342526-35-5), molecular formula C8H6N4O2 and molecular weight 190.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-(Pyrazin-2-yl)-1h-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (C8H6N4O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
