The occurrence of 4-(Benzo[b]thiophen-3-ylmethoxy)-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 4-(Benzo[b]thiophen-3-ylmethoxy)-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (CAS 87034-83-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H13N3OS, MW 295.36 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 4-(Benzo[b]thiophen-3-ylmethoxy)-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (C16H13N3OS) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
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.
