Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyrimidine CAS 1046816-75-4 chemical structure

Description

2-Chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyrimidine (CAS 1046816-75-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H5ClN2O and a molecular weight of 144.56 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-Chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyrimidine is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 144.56 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
