Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 314.38 g/mol gives 5-Methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
5-Methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 80477-76-5), molecular formula C20H18N4 and molecular weight 314.38 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 5-Methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 314.38 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
