Chemical Structure

4-(Fmoc-amino)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid CAS 252206-28-3 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-(Fmoc-amino)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (C20H17N3O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 14.0, corresponding to approximately 14 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 363.37 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

CATO supplies 4-(Fmoc-amino)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 252206-28-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H17N3O4, MW 363.37 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

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.
