Chemical Structure

4-Amino-1H-imidazole-2-carboxamide hydrochloride CAS 56504-99-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-Amino-1H-imidazole-2-carboxamide hydrochloride (CAS 56504-99-5), molecular formula C4H6N4OHCl and molecular weight 162.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-Amino-1H-imidazole-2-carboxamide hydrochloride (C4H6N4OHCl) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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