6-Fluoro-1-(fluoromethyl)-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 118469-16-2 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 6-Fluoro-1-(fluoromethyl)-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole.

CATO supplies 6-Fluoro-1-(fluoromethyl)-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 118469-16-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H8F2N2, MW 182.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 6-Fluoro-1-(fluoromethyl)-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 182.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 6-Fluoro-1-(fluoromethyl)-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]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.
