1-(5-Methoxy-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)ethanone CAS 79938-46-8 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

1-(5-Methoxy-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)ethanone (CAS 79938-46-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10N2O2 and a molecular weight of 190.20 g/mol.

1-(5-Methoxy-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)ethanone (C10H10N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(5-Methoxy-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)ethanone 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.
