Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 288.73 g/mol gives 2-Benzyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylic acid hydrochloride distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-Benzyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylic acid hydrochloride (CAS 208118-13-2), molecular formula C15H12N2O2HCl and molecular weight 288.73 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-Benzyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylic acid hydrochloride (C15H12N2O2HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
