Chemical Structure

5-bromo-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid CAS 50743-02-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-bromo-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-bromo-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 50743-02-7), molecular formula C4H7BrN2O2 and molecular weight 195.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-bromo-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (C4H7BrN2O2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
