Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-chloro-2-mercapto-1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate CAS 1446718-16-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methyl 5-chloro-2-mercapto-1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate (CAS 1446718-16-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H9ClN2O2S, MW 256.71 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Methyl 5-chloro-2-mercapto-1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.71 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 5-chloro-2-mercapto-1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
