1-Boc-2-(chloromethyl)benzimidazole CAS 163798-87-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-Boc-2-(chloromethyl)benzimidazole.

1-Boc-2-(chloromethyl)benzimidazole (CAS 163798-87-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H15ClN2O2 and a molecular weight of 266.72 g/mol.

Structurally, 1-Boc-2-(chloromethyl)benzimidazole (C13H15ClN2O2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 266.72 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 1-Boc-2-(chloromethyl)benzimidazole 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.
