Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-6-fluoro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 156144-42-2 chemical structure

Description

2-(Chloromethyl)-6-fluoro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 156144-42-2), molecular formula C8H6ClFN2 and molecular weight 184.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution, 2-(Chloromethyl)-6-fluoro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 184.60 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(Chloromethyl)-6-fluoro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole 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.
