Chemical Structure

3-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid CAS 686708-68-9 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 3-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid (C14H10N2O2) 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

3-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid (CAS 686708-68-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H10N2O2 and a molecular weight of 238.24 g/mol.

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.

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.
