CATO supplies Methyl 1-benzyl-2-mercapto-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (CAS 76075-15-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H12N2O2S, MW 248.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Methyl 1-benzyl-2-mercapto-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (C12H12N2O2S) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
CATO manufactures Methyl 1-benzyl-2-mercapto-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
