Chemical Structure
Description
CATO supplies 2-((2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzoic acid (CAS 876717-95-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H12N2O2, MW 216.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-((2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzoic acid (C12H12N2O2) 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).
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-((2-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzoic acid 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.
