Chemical Structure

1-(4-(Tert-butyl)benzyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile CAS 439108-70-0 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 1-(4-(Tert-butyl)benzyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 264.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

1-(4-(Tert-butyl)benzyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile (CAS 439108-70-0), molecular formula C16H16N4 and molecular weight 264.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
