Chemical Structure

1-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethanone CAS 78210-66-9 chemical structure

Description

1-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethanone (CAS 78210-66-9), molecular formula C6H8N2O and molecular weight 124.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethanone (C6H8N2O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its physicochemical properties are representative of its class; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
