Chemical Structure

5-Methyl-2-p-tolyl-1h-benzoimidazole CAS 7118-66-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Methyl-2-p-tolyl-1h-benzoimidazole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 5-Methyl-2-p-tolyl-1h-benzoimidazole (CAS 7118-66-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H5ClN2O3S, MW 268.68 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 5-Methyl-2-p-tolyl-1h-benzoimidazole is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 268.68 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
