Chemical Structure

(5-(Trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol CAS 1785198-45-9 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 (5-(Trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol.

(5-(Trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol (CAS 1785198-45-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H5F3N2O and a molecular weight of 166.10 g/mol.

Structurally, (5-(Trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol (C5H5F3N2O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 166.10 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (5-(Trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol 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.
