Chemical Structure

5-Fluoro-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile CAS 1956380-16-7 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-Fluoro-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile.

5-Fluoro-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile (CAS 1956380-16-7), molecular formula C5H4FN3 and molecular weight 125.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 5-Fluoro-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 125.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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-Fluoro-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile 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.
