The occurrence of 3-Bromo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine is closely related to a nitrile group, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
3-Bromo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine (CAS 944900-87-2), molecular formula C6H8BrN3 and molecular weight 202.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrile group, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Bromo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 202.05 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).
