Chemical Structure

2-(1H-imidazol-5-yl)ethan-1-amine hydrochloride CAS 55-36-7 chemical structure

Description

2-(1H-imidazol-5-yl)ethan-1-amine hydrochloride (CAS 55-36-7), molecular formula C5H9N3HCl and molecular weight 147.61 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 2-(1H-imidazol-5-yl)ethan-1-amine hydrochloride is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 147.61 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(1H-imidazol-5-yl)ethan-1-amine hydrochloride meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
