Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 284.35 g/mol gives 1-Benzyl-2-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 1-Benzyl-2-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole (CAS 739-88-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H16N2, MW 284.35 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 1-Benzyl-2-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole (C20H16N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Benzyl-2-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
