Chemical Structure

1H-Isobenzofuro[5,6-d]imidazole-5,7-dione CAS 167993-16-0 chemical structure

Description

1H-Isobenzofuro[5,6-d]imidazole-5,7-dione (CAS 167993-16-0), molecular formula C9H4N2O3 and molecular weight 188.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1H-Isobenzofuro[5,6-d]imidazole-5,7-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 188.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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), 1H-Isobenzofuro[5,6-d]imidazole-5,7-dione 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.
