Chemical Structure
Description
The molecular framework of 4-[(2-Methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzoic acid hydrochloride (C16H14N2O2HCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
CATO supplies 4-[(2-Methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzoic acid hydrochloride (CAS 170499-20-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H14N2O2HCl, MW 302.76 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
