Chemical Structure

1-(3-Methylphenyl)-5-nitro-1H-benzimidazole CAS 695206-11-2 chemical structure

Description

1-(3-Methylphenyl)-5-nitro-1H-benzimidazole (C14H11N3O2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

1-(3-Methylphenyl)-5-nitro-1H-benzimidazole (CAS 695206-11-2), molecular formula C14H11N3O2 and molecular weight 253.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
