The occurrence of 1,4,5-Trimethyl-1H-imidazol-2(3H)-one 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
1,4,5-Trimethyl-1H-imidazol-2(3H)-one 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate (CAS 1609406-87-2), molecular formula C6H10N2OC2HF3O2 and molecular weight 240.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 1,4,5-Trimethyl-1H-imidazol-2(3H)-one 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate (C6H10N2OC2HF3O2) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,4,5-Trimethyl-1H-imidazol-2(3H)-one 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
