The occurrence of 2,5-Dibromo-4-methylimidazole is closely related to a nitrile group, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2,5-Dibromo-4-methylimidazole (CAS 219814-29-6), molecular formula C4H4Br2N2 and molecular weight 239.90 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2,5-Dibromo-4-methylimidazole (C4H4Br2N2) contains a nitrile group, bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
