Chemical Structure

2-(2-Butyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)acetic acid CAS 138992-92-4 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 2-(2-Butyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)acetic acid.

2-(2-Butyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)acetic acid (CAS 138992-92-4), molecular formula C13H16N2O2 and molecular weight 232.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(2-Butyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)acetic acid (C13H16N2O2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(2-Butyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)acetic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
