The occurrence of 2,5,6-Trimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole 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.
2,5,6-Trimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 3363-56-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12N2 and a molecular weight of 160.22 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C10H12N2, 2,5,6-Trimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 160.22 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
