Ethyl (5-chloro-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)acetate (CAS 83520-64-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H11ClN2O2 and a molecular weight of 238.67 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Ethyl (5-chloro-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)acetate (C11H11ClN2O2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
CATO manufactures Ethyl (5-chloro-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)acetate 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.
