Chemical Structure

sodium 4,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate CAS 1989672-85-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of sodium 4,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies sodium 4,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate (CAS 1989672-85-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H7N2O2Na, MW 162.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, sodium 4,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 162.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
