Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxaldehyde CAS 288579-82-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Chloro-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxaldehyde (CAS 288579-82-8), molecular formula C8H5ClN2O and molecular weight 180.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Chloro-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxaldehyde (C8H5ClN2O) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxaldehyde 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.
