Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-5-phenyl-1h-imidazole CAS 867315-12-6 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 2-(Chloromethyl)-5-phenyl-1h-imidazole.

2-(Chloromethyl)-5-phenyl-1h-imidazole (CAS 867315-12-6), molecular formula C10H9ClN2 and molecular weight 192.64 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 2-(Chloromethyl)-5-phenyl-1h-imidazole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 192.64 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(Chloromethyl)-5-phenyl-1h-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.
