Chemical Structure

2-(1-Methyl-5-oxo-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-yl)acetic acid CAS 1801-63-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(1-Methyl-5-oxo-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-yl)acetic acid is closely related to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(1-Methyl-5-oxo-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-yl)acetic acid (CAS 1801-63-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H8N2O3S and a molecular weight of 188.20 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-(1-Methyl-5-oxo-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-yl)acetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 188.20 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).

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.
