Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 287.24 g/mol gives 4-(6-(Trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)benzonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
4-(6-(Trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)benzonitrile (CAS 907960-23-0), molecular formula C15H8F3N3 and molecular weight 287.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 4-(6-(Trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)benzonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 287.24 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.
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.
