(E)-2-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)acrylonitrile CAS 79613-23-3 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 (E)-2-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)acrylonitrile.

(E)-2-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)acrylonitrile (CAS 79613-23-3), molecular formula C16H10N4O2 and molecular weight 290.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (E)-2-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)acrylonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 290.28 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (E)-2-(1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)acrylonitrile meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
