CATO supplies 2-Methylimidazole-d (CAS 697806-98-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4HD5N2, MW 87.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-Methylimidazole-d (C4HD5N2) is characterized by deuterium isotope labeling, a nitrile group. 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).
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.
