Chemical Structure

Methyl 1-Methylbenzimidazole-4-carboxylate CAS 672957-91-4 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 1-Methylbenzimidazole-4-carboxylate (CAS 672957-91-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10N2O2 and a molecular weight of 190.20 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 1-Methylbenzimidazole-4-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 190.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 Methyl 1-Methylbenzimidazole-4-carboxylate 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.
