Chemical Structure

5,6-Dimethoxy-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 51437-32-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 192.21 g/mol gives 5,6-Dimethoxy-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

5,6-Dimethoxy-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 51437-32-2), molecular formula C10H12N2O2 and molecular weight 192.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5,6-Dimethoxy-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 192.21 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.

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 5,6-Dimethoxy-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole 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.
