Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 5-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate (hydrochloride).
Methyl 5-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate (hydrochloride) (CAS 2361775-39-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H8N2O2HCl and a molecular weight of 176.60 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C6H8N2O2HCl, Methyl 5-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate (hydrochloride) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 176.60 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
