2-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (CAS 874623-44-6), molecular formula C12H16N4HCl and molecular weight 252.75 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (C12H16N4HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
