The occurrence of 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-ethyl-1H-imidazole is closely related to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-ethyl-1H-imidazole (CAS 780722-30-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H9ClN2, MW 144.60 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C6H9ClN2, 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-ethyl-1H-imidazole contains a nitrile group, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 144.60 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
