Chemical Structure

6-Ethyl-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 97863-20-2 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 6-Ethyl-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (C10H12N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. 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.

6-Ethyl-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 97863-20-2), molecular formula C10H12N2 and molecular weight 160.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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 6-Ethyl-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole 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.
