The occurrence of 1-(2-Methylbenzyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
1-(2-Methylbenzyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 478030-41-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H13F3N2 and a molecular weight of 290.28 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 1-(2-Methylbenzyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (C16H13F3N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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).
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 1-(2-Methylbenzyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]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.
