Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 224.69 g/mol gives (1-Benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies (1-Benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol (CAS 5272-57-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H12N2OHCl, MW 224.69 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, (1-Benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol (C11H12N2OHCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 224.69 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (1-Benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
