Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(1H-imidazole-2-carbonyl)-5-iodobenzoate CAS 62367-16-2 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 2-(1H-imidazole-2-carbonyl)-5-iodobenzoate (C12H9IN2O3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Methyl 2-(1H-imidazole-2-carbonyl)-5-iodobenzoate (CAS 62367-16-2), molecular formula C12H9IN2O3 and molecular weight 356.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
