Chemical Structure
Description
CATO supplies 4-((Benzylthio)methyl)-5-methyl-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (CAS 74461-53-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14N2SHCl, MW 254.78 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution, 4-((Benzylthio)methyl)-5-methyl-1H-imidazole hydrochloride is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 254.78 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
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.
