Chemical Structure

2-((1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methylene)malononitrile CAS 714199-32-3 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C8H6N4, 2-((1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methylene)malononitrile contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 158.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

2-((1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methylene)malononitrile (CAS 714199-32-3), molecular formula C8H6N4 and molecular weight 158.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
