Chemical Structure

6-Cyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinic acid CAS 1211537-27-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 6-Cyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinic acid (CAS 1211537-27-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H3F3N2O2, MW 216.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 6-Cyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 216.12 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.

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 6-Cyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinic acid 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.
