Chemical Structure

1,3-Bis((S)-1-phenylethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate CAS 613686-48-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

1,3-Bis((S)-1-phenylethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate (CAS 613686-48-9), molecular formula C19H21N2BF4 and molecular weight 364.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1,3-Bis((S)-1-phenylethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate (C19H21N2BF4) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine 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.

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.
