The occurrence of 4-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-2H-imidazole is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 4-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-2H-imidazole (CAS 865658-13-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H13Cl3N2O, MW 367.66 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 4-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-2H-imidazole is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 367.66 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
