8-(4-Chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (CAS 104271-30-9), molecular formula C13H11ClN2 and molecular weight 230.69 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 8-(4-Chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (C13H11ClN2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 230.69 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).
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.
