Chemical Structure

2-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1-phenylethan-1-one CAS 66838-69-5 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 2-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1-phenylethan-1-one (CAS 66838-69-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H12N2O, MW 236.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1-phenylethan-1-one (C15H12N2O) 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 its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
