Chemical Structure

2-(2-Chloroethyl)-6,7-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydrochloride CAS 1609406-55-4 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.

2-(2-Chloroethyl)-6,7-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydrochloride (CAS 1609406-55-4), molecular formula C11H13ClN2HCl and molecular weight 245.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 2-(2-Chloroethyl)-6,7-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydrochloride is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 245.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(2-Chloroethyl)-6,7-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydrochloride 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.
