Chemical Structure

2-(2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene-1,4-diol CAS 164061-42-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene-1,4-diol is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene-1,4-diol (CAS 164061-42-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H10N2O2, MW 190.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-(2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene-1,4-diol (C10H10N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene-1,4-diol 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.
