Chemical Structure

1-Methyl-3-octyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium CAS 178631-03-3 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 1-Methyl-3-octyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium (C12H25N2) is characterized by an organic framework. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

1-Methyl-3-octyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium (CAS 178631-03-3), molecular formula C12H25N2 and molecular weight 197.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Methyl-3-octyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium 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.
