Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-1-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydrochloride CAS 2378502-46-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydrochloride is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Chloromethyl)-1-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydrochloride (CAS 2378502-46-4), molecular formula C10H11ClN2HCl and molecular weight 231.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydrochloride (C10H11ClN2HCl) 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 231.12 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydrochloride 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.
