Chemical Structure

1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ol CAS 39799-77-4 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ol (CAS 39799-77-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H6N2O, MW 98.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ol is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 98.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
