Chemical Structure

1H-Imidazole-2-carbonitrile, 5-methyl- CAS 70631-95-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1H-Imidazole-2-carbonitrile, 5-methyl- is closely related to a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1H-Imidazole-2-carbonitrile, 5-methyl- (CAS 70631-95-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H5N3, MW 107.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrile group, 1H-Imidazole-2-carbonitrile, 5-methyl- is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 107.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 1H-Imidazole-2-carbonitrile, 5-methyl- 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.
