3-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-N-(2-(5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)ethyl)pyridin-2-amine (CAS 478262-26-9), molecular formula C16H11ClF6N4 and molecular weight 408.73 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 3-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-N-(2-(5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)ethyl)pyridin-2-amine (C16H11ClF6N4) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
