Chemical Structure

7-Chloro-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine CAS 83472-64-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 167.60 g/mol gives 7-Chloro-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

7-Chloro-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (CAS 83472-64-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H6ClN3 and a molecular weight of 167.60 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 7-Chloro-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 167.60 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

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.
