Chemical Structure

(5E)-2-Mercapto-5-(2-nitrobenzylidene)-3-phenyl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one CAS 53865-29-5 chemical structure

Description

(5E)-2-Mercapto-5-(2-nitrobenzylidene)-3-phenyl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one (CAS 53865-29-5), molecular formula C16H11N3O3S and molecular weight 325.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (5E)-2-Mercapto-5-(2-nitrobenzylidene)-3-phenyl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 325.34 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
