Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-5-nitro-1-nitroso-1H-imidazole CAS CATO-C3D-26194 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Methyl-5-nitro-1-nitroso-1H-imidazole.

2-Methyl-5-nitro-1-nitroso-1H-imidazole (CAS CATO-C3D-26194), molecular formula C4H4N4O3 and molecular weight 156.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Methyl-5-nitro-1-nitroso-1H-imidazole (C4H4N4O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 156.10 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methyl-5-nitro-1-nitroso-1H-imidazole meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
