Chemical Structure

2-Bromomethyl-4-methyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine CAS 1246466-71-6 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

2-Bromomethyl-4-methyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine (CAS 1246466-71-6), molecular formula C8H7BrF3N and molecular weight 254.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C8H7BrF3N, 2-Bromomethyl-4-methyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 254.05 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromomethyl-4-methyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine 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.
