Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Ethyl 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate.
Ethyl 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (CAS 1403334-70-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H9F3N2O2 and a molecular weight of 222.16 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C8H9F3N2O2, Ethyl 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 222.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
