Chemical Structure

1-(2-Chloroethyl)-2-methyl-1H-imidazole hydrochloride CAS 56894-20-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

1-(2-Chloroethyl)-2-methyl-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (CAS 56894-20-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H9ClN2HCl and a molecular weight of 181.06 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 1-(2-Chloroethyl)-2-methyl-1H-imidazole hydrochloride is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 181.06 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(2-Chloroethyl)-2-methyl-1H-imidazole 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.
