Chemical Structure

1-(4-Bromobenzyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 73798-61-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-(4-Bromobenzyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole.

1-(4-Bromobenzyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 73798-61-5), molecular formula C14H11BrN2 and molecular weight 287.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, bromine substitution, 1-(4-Bromobenzyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 287.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 1-(4-Bromobenzyl)-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.
