Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-(chloromethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate hydrochloride CAS 95604-81-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 5-(chloromethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate hydrochloride is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 5-(chloromethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate hydrochloride (CAS 95604-81-2), molecular formula C7H9ClN2O2HCl and molecular weight 225.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 5-(chloromethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate hydrochloride (C7H9ClN2O2HCl) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 5-(chloromethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate hydrochloride 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.
