Chemical Structure
Description
CATO supplies 2-(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetic acid (CAS 2625-49-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8N2O2, MW 140.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 2-(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetic acid (C6H8N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 140.14 g/mol, it falls into the low-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).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetic acid 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.
