Chemical Structure

2-Fluoro-6-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine CAS 438564-53-5 chemical structure

Description

2-Fluoro-6-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine (CAS 438564-53-5), molecular formula C8H6FN3 and molecular weight 163.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 2-Fluoro-6-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 163.15 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.

CATO manufactures 2-Fluoro-6-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine 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.
