Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-1-ethyl-5-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 58533-16-7 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-Chloro-1-ethyl-5-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (C10H11ClN2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies 2-Chloro-1-ethyl-5-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 58533-16-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H11ClN2, MW 194.66 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.

CATO manufactures 2-Chloro-1-ethyl-5-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
