Chemical Structure

4-(chloromethyl)pyridine CAS 10445-91-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(chloromethyl)pyridine is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4-(chloromethyl)pyridine (CAS 10445-91-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12ClN, MW 133.62 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

4-(chloromethyl)pyridine (C6H12ClN) contains chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
