The occurrence of 2-(1-Phenylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-(1-Phenylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazole (CAS 24893-44-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H16N2, MW 236.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C16H16N2, 2-(1-Phenylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazole contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 236.31 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(1-Phenylpropyl)-1H-benzimidazole meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
