1,1',3,3',5,5',6,6'-Octamethyl-1,1',3,3'-tetrahydro-2,2'-spirobi[benzo[d]imidazole] (CAS 99643-38-6), molecular formula C21H28N4 and molecular weight 336.47 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 1,1',3,3',5,5',6,6'-Octamethyl-1,1',3,3'-tetrahydro-2,2'-spirobi[benzo[d]imidazole] (C21H28N4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 336.47 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
