Chemical Structure

2-(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetaldehyde CAS 19639-03-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetaldehyde is closely related to an amide 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-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetaldehyde (CAS 19639-03-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H8N2O and a molecular weight of 124.14 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetaldehyde (C6H8N2O) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
