Chemical Structure

5-Fluoro-2-(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole CAS 39811-07-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Fluoro-2-(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-Fluoro-2-(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole (CAS 39811-07-9), molecular formula C8H7FN2O and molecular weight 166.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 5-Fluoro-2-(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole (C8H7FN2O) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 5-Fluoro-2-(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole 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.
