Chemical Structure

2-(5-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethanamine CAS 279236-80-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(5-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethanamine is closely related to a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(5-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethanamine (CAS 279236-80-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H11N3, MW 125.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrile group, 2-(5-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethanamine is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 125.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 2-(5-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethanamine under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
