Structurally, (3-Chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)methanamine dihydrochloride (C8H8ClN3HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 218.08 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).
(3-Chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)methanamine dihydrochloride (CAS 2138151-02-5), molecular formula C8H8ClN3HCl and molecular weight 218.08 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.
