Chemical Structure

2-Heptadecylimidazole CAS 23328-87-2 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 2-Heptadecylimidazole.

CATO supplies 2-Heptadecylimidazole (CAS 23328-87-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H38N2, MW 306.53 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrile group, 2-Heptadecylimidazole is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 306.53 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.
