Chemical Structure

2-Butyl-4-hydroxymethyl Imidazole CAS 68283-19-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-Butyl-4-hydroxymethyl Imidazole 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-Butyl-4-hydroxymethyl Imidazole (CAS 68283-19-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H14N2O and a molecular weight of 154.21 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Butyl-4-hydroxymethyl Imidazole (C8H14N2O) is characterized by 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).

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.
