Chemical Structure

(1,2-Dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-yl)methanol CAS 4589-66-6 chemical structure

Description

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.

(1,2-Dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-yl)methanol (CAS 4589-66-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12N2O and a molecular weight of 176.22 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C10H12N2O, (1,2-Dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-yl)methanol contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 176.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
