Chemical Structure
Description
CATO supplies 2-(4-Nitro-1h-imidazol-1-yl)acetic acid (CAS 59566-52-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H5N3O4, MW 171.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 2-(4-Nitro-1h-imidazol-1-yl)acetic acid (C5H5N3O4) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 171.11 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).
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), 2-(4-Nitro-1h-imidazol-1-yl)acetic acid 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.
