(4-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanamine dihydrochloride (CAS 72631-77-7), molecular formula C5H9N3HCl and molecular weight 147.61 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C5H9N3HCl, (4-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanamine dihydrochloride contains a nitrile group, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 147.61 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
