Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 2-(4-Imidazolyl)acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2-(4-Imidazolyl)acetonitrile (CAS 18502-05-1), molecular formula C5H5N3 and molecular weight 107.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(4-Imidazolyl)acetonitrile (C5H5N3) is characterized by a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
