Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 151.17 g/mol gives 3-(4-(Hydroxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanenitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3-(4-(Hydroxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanenitrile (CAS 681235-11-0), molecular formula C7H9N3O and molecular weight 151.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-(4-(Hydroxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanenitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 151.17 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.
CATO manufactures 3-(4-(Hydroxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanenitrile 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.
