2-((1-Methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)thio)acetic acid CAS 6339-60-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-((1-Methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)thio)acetic acid 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.

2-((1-Methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)thio)acetic acid (CAS 6339-60-2), molecular formula C6H7N3O4S and molecular weight 217.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-((1-Methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)thio)acetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 217.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
