Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)imidazole is closely related to a nitrile group, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)imidazole (CAS 33468-67-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H5F3N2, MW 150.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C5H5F3N2, 2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)imidazole contains a nitrile group, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 150.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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 2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)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.
