Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazole-1-carbonitrile CAS 83505-78-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 183.21 g/mol gives 2-Methyl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazole-1-carbonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Methyl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazole-1-carbonitrile (CAS 83505-78-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H9N3 and a molecular weight of 183.21 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2-Methyl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazole-1-carbonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 183.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 manufactures 2-Methyl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazole-1-carbonitrile under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
