Chemical Structure

Bis(5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methane CAS 3708-68-7 chemical structure

Description

Bis(5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methane (CAS 3708-68-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C19H20N4 and a molecular weight of 304.39 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, Bis(5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methane is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 304.39 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).

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.
