Chemical Structure

2-Benzyl-5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 58506-60-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Benzyl-5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole 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.

2-Benzyl-5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 58506-60-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H16N2 and a molecular weight of 236.31 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Benzyl-5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (C16H16N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
