Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-5-nitro-3-pyridinylethanone CAS 1256264-86-4 chemical structure

Description

2-Chloro-5-nitro-3-pyridinylethanone (CAS 1256264-86-4), molecular formula C7H5ClN2O3 and molecular weight 200.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Chloro-5-nitro-3-pyridinylethanone (C7H5ClN2O3) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), 2-Chloro-5-nitro-3-pyridinylethanone 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.
