Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-1-(2-phenylethyl)-1H-benzimidazole CAS 89218-90-6 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)-1-(2-phenylethyl)-1H-benzimidazole.

CATO supplies 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-(2-phenylethyl)-1H-benzimidazole (CAS 89218-90-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H15ClN2, MW 270.76 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-(2-phenylethyl)-1H-benzimidazole is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 270.76 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)-1-(2-phenylethyl)-1H-benzimidazole 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.
