Chemical Structure

5-Bromo-1H-imidazol-2-amine CAS 1211524-33-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

5-Bromo-1H-imidazol-2-amine (CAS 1211524-33-2), molecular formula C3H4BrN3 and molecular weight 161.99 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 5-Bromo-1H-imidazol-2-amine (C3H4BrN3) is characterized by a nitrile group, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Bromo-1H-imidazol-2-amine 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.
