Chemical Structure

(2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol CAS 53292-67-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol (CAS 53292-67-4), molecular formula C11H12N2O2 and molecular weight 204.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol (C11H12N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
