Chemical Structure

5,6-Dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one CAS 2033-30-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 5,6-Dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one.

5,6-Dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one (CAS 2033-30-9), molecular formula C9H10N2O and molecular weight 162.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5,6-Dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 162.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
