Chemical Structure

3-Acetyl-5-(1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one CAS 78620-26-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 3-Acetyl-5-(1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one (CAS 78620-26-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H10N4O3, MW 258.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3-Acetyl-5-(1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one (C12H10N4O3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, 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).

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.
