Chemical Structure

(Amino(1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl)phosphonic acid CAS 270249-45-1 chemical structure

Description

(Amino(1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl)phosphonic acid (CAS 270249-45-1), molecular formula C4H8N3O3P and molecular weight 177.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (Amino(1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl)phosphonic acid (C4H8N3O3P) contains an amide group, a phosphonate group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.5, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 177.10 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
