2-(Benzylthio)-1-methyl-1h-imidazole (CAS 63348-55-0), molecular formula C11H12N2S and molecular weight 204.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(Benzylthio)-1-methyl-1h-imidazole (C11H12N2S) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Benzylthio)-1-methyl-1h-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.
