2-((2-Methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 41278-00-6 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.

2-((2-Methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 41278-00-6), molecular formula C17H15N3 and molecular weight 261.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2-((2-Methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 261.32 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).

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.
