Chemical Structure

2-(2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)acetic acid CAS 172499-34-2 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 2-(2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)acetic acid (CAS 172499-34-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8N2O2, MW 140.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)acetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 140.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures 2-(2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)acetic acid 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.
