Chemical Structure

2-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)acetyl chloride CAS 160975-66-6 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)acetyl chloride (C5H5ClN2O) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine 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.

CATO supplies 2-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)acetyl chloride (CAS 160975-66-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H5ClN2O, MW 144.56 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)acetyl chloride 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.
