Description
4,5-Methyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole is a sulphur-containing benzimidazole derivative offered for chemical and biochemical laboratory use. It is registered under CAS number 53988-10-6 with empirical formula C₈H₈N₂S and a molar mass of 164,23 g/mol. The heterocyclic mercapto structure is relevant to coordination chemistry, ligand design, and studies of benzimidazole-based scaffolds. Classification data include UN number 3077, which laboratories should observe together with internal hazardous-substance procedures. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH arrives with defined identity parameters that simplify inventory registration and experimental documentation. Applications span medicinal-chemistry intermediates, analytical standards, and exploratory reactions that exploit the thiol functionality on the benzimidazole core. Consistent CAS, formula, and molar-mass information help ensure traceability from receipt through use in research protocols.

Questions about 4,5-Methyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 250 mg
What is this article?
4,5-Methyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 250 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Bases & alkalis, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
A base or an alkali is sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia and their relatives, as solid or as solution. The carbonate that a hydroxide picks up from the air changes a titre. Concentration and purity are the specification. Concentrated alkalis attack skin and aluminium.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
