Chemical Structure

4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole CAS 65658-13-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 148.16 g/mol gives 4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole (CAS 65658-13-1), molecular formula C8H8N2O and molecular weight 148.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole (C8H8N2O) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide 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).

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 4-(Hydroxymethyl)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.
