The occurrence of 2-((4-Methoxybenzyl)thio)-1-methyl-4,5-dipropyl-1H-imidazole is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2-((4-Methoxybenzyl)thio)-1-methyl-4,5-dipropyl-1H-imidazole (CAS 338965-98-3), molecular formula C18H26N2OS and molecular weight 318.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-((4-Methoxybenzyl)thio)-1-methyl-4,5-dipropyl-1H-imidazole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 318.48 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).
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.
