Chemical Structure

Methyl 1-phenyl-1h-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate CAS 220495-77-2 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 Methyl 1-phenyl-1h-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate.

Methyl 1-phenyl-1h-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate (CAS 220495-77-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H12N2O2 and a molecular weight of 252.27 g/mol.

Methyl 1-phenyl-1h-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate (C15H12N2O2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, 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.

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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 1-phenyl-1h-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
