(1-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol CAS 1823872-72-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (1-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(1-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol (CAS 1823872-72-5), molecular formula C6H7F3N2O and molecular weight 180.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, (1-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-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.
