Chemical Structure

2-(6-Methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)ethanol CAS 18046-41-8 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-(6-Methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)ethanol (CAS 18046-41-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12N2O, MW 176.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(6-Methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)ethanol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 176.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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-(6-Methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)ethanol 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.
