Chemical Structure

2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-((3,4-dichlorobenzyl)oxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 338791-31-4 chemical structure

Description

2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-((3,4-dichlorobenzyl)oxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 338791-31-4), molecular formula C20H13Cl3N2O and molecular weight 403.69 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-((3,4-dichlorobenzyl)oxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 403.69 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-((3,4-dichlorobenzyl)oxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole 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.
