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.
CATO supplies (5E)-5-Benzylidene-2-mercapto-3-phenyl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one (CAS 145693-86-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12N2OS, MW 280.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C16H12N2OS, (5E)-5-Benzylidene-2-mercapto-3-phenyl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 280.34 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
