CATO supplies Ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-1-carboxylate (CAS 301684-46-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H11BrN2O2, MW 283.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-1-carboxylate (C11H11BrN2O2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-1-carboxylate 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.
