Structurally, 2-Iodo-3-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (C8H5F3IN3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/iodine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 327.05 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
2-Iodo-3-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (CAS 2138063-20-2), molecular formula C8H5F3IN3 and molecular weight 327.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
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.
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.
