The occurrence of N,N,1-Trimethyl-1H-imidazol-2-amine is closely related to a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
N,N,1-Trimethyl-1H-imidazol-2-amine (CAS 138040-03-6), molecular formula C6H11N3 and molecular weight 125.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C6H11N3, N,N,1-Trimethyl-1H-imidazol-2-amine contains a nitrile group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 125.17 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
