Chemical Structure

4,5-Dihydro-2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazole-1-carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester CAS 60546-77-2 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 4,5-Dihydro-2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazole-1-carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester (C6H10N2O2S) is characterized by an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, 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).

4,5-Dihydro-2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazole-1-carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester (CAS 60546-77-2), molecular formula C6H10N2O2S and molecular weight 174.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4,5-Dihydro-2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazole-1-carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester 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.
