The occurrence of 7-Bromo-1-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzimidazole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
7-Bromo-1-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzimidazole (CAS 1801697-86-8), molecular formula C9H6BrF3N2 and molecular weight 279.06 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 7-Bromo-1-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzimidazole (C9H6BrF3N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/bromine 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. 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).
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 7-Bromo-1-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzimidazole 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.
