The occurrence of 1-Ethyl-5-iodo-2-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 1-Ethyl-5-iodo-2-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole (CAS 35681-66-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8IN3O2, MW 281.05 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-Ethyl-5-iodo-2-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 281.05 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
