Chemical Structure

2-(2-Phenylethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid CAS 175210-33-0 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-Phenylethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 175210-33-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H12N2O2, MW 216.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-(2-Phenylethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (C12H12N2O2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO manufactures 2-(2-Phenylethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic 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.
