Methyl imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-5-carboxylate (CAS 96583-38-9), molecular formula C7H6N2O2S and molecular weight 182.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, Methyl imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-5-carboxylate (C7H6N2O2S) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 182.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
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.
