The occurrence of (1S)-1-(1-Methylimidazol-2-yl)ethanol 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.
(1S)-1-(1-Methylimidazol-2-yl)ethanol (CAS 1568062-65-6), molecular formula C6H10N2O and molecular weight 126.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (1S)-1-(1-Methylimidazol-2-yl)ethanol is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 126.16 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.
