Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 233.12 g/mol gives 5,6-Dichloro-2-(methylthio)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
5,6-Dichloro-2-(methylthio)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 20076-54-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6Cl2N2S and a molecular weight of 233.12 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution, 5,6-Dichloro-2-(methylthio)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 233.12 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
