The occurrence of 5-Chloro-6-[(3,4-difluorophenyl)amino]pyridine-3-carbonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
5-Chloro-6-[(3,4-difluorophenyl)amino]pyridine-3-carbonitrile (CAS 1240526-18-4), molecular formula C12H6ClF2N3 and molecular weight 265.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 5-Chloro-6-[(3,4-difluorophenyl)amino]pyridine-3-carbonitrile (C12H6ClF2N3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Chloro-6-[(3,4-difluorophenyl)amino]pyridine-3-carbonitrile meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
