Chemical Structure

2,3-Dichloro-benzamidine hydrochloride CAS 55154-87-5 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2,3-Dichloro-benzamidine hydrochloride (C7H6Cl2N2HCl) is characterized by a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies 2,3-Dichloro-benzamidine hydrochloride (CAS 55154-87-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6Cl2N2HCl, MW 225.50 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
