Chemical Structure

4-ethyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazole CAS 196303-99-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 110.16 g/mol gives 4-ethyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-ethyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazole (CAS 196303-99-8), molecular formula C6H10N2 and molecular weight 110.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C6H10N2, 4-ethyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazole contains a nitrile group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 110.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
