Chemical Structure

1-(3,5-Difluorobenzyl)-1H-imidazole CAS 170166-01-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 194.18 g/mol gives 1-(3,5-Difluorobenzyl)-1H-imidazole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

1-(3,5-Difluorobenzyl)-1H-imidazole (CAS 170166-01-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H8F2N2 and a molecular weight of 194.18 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 1-(3,5-Difluorobenzyl)-1H-imidazole (C10H8F2N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures 1-(3,5-Difluorobenzyl)-1H-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.
