Chemical Structure

1,4-Dimethyl-1H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile CAS 79080-36-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1,4-Dimethyl-1H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile.

1,4-Dimethyl-1H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile (CAS 79080-36-7), molecular formula C6H7N3 and molecular weight 121.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1,4-Dimethyl-1H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile (C6H7N3) is characterized by a nitrile group, an aromatic ring system. 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 presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
