Description
As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)benzoate 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.
Methyl 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)benzoate (CAS 1780-94-5), molecular formula C15H12N2O2 and molecular weight 252.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C15H12N2O2, Methyl 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)benzoate contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 252.27 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
