Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-1-ethyl-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 2818-76-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Chloro-1-ethyl-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole 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.

5-Chloro-1-ethyl-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 2818-76-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11ClN2 and a molecular weight of 194.66 g/mol.

Structurally, 5-Chloro-1-ethyl-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (C10H11ClN2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine 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 194.66 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 5-Chloro-1-ethyl-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
