Chemical Structure

2-[4-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]imidazole CAS 885271-86-3 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 2-[4-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]imidazole (C10H7F3N2O) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 228.17 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies 2-[4-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]imidazole (CAS 885271-86-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H7F3N2O, MW 228.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
