3-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acrylonitrile (CAS 51100-89-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H7N3 and a molecular weight of 169.18 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 3-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acrylonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 169.18 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.
CATO manufactures 3-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acrylonitrile under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
