Chemical Structure

2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,3-benzimidazole CAS 630091-57-5 chemical structure

Description

2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,3-benzimidazole (CAS 630091-57-5), molecular formula C16H16N2O2 and molecular weight 268.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,3-benzimidazole (C16H16N2O2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

CATO manufactures 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,3-benzimidazole under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
