Chemical Structure

Methyl 8-chloroisoquinoline-5-carboxylate CAS 1246441-85-9 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Methyl 8-chloroisoquinoline-5-carboxylate (C11H8ClNO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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).

Methyl 8-chloroisoquinoline-5-carboxylate (CAS 1246441-85-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H8ClNO2 and a molecular weight of 221.64 g/mol.

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.

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.
