Chemical Structure

2-fluoro-5-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde CAS 870851-52-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 2-fluoro-5-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 234.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

2-fluoro-5-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde (CAS 870851-52-8), molecular formula C12H11FN2O2 and molecular weight 234.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
