Chemical Structure

2-Fluoro-1-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethanone CAS 161468-13-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Fluoro-1-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethanone (CAS 161468-13-9), molecular formula C5H5FN2O and molecular weight 128.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C5H5FN2O, 2-Fluoro-1-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethanone contains 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 128.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
