Methyl 6-chloro-4-hydroxypicolinate CAS 1256805-03-4 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 6-chloro-4-hydroxypicolinate 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.

Methyl 6-chloro-4-hydroxypicolinate (CAS 1256805-03-4), molecular formula C7H6ClNO3 and molecular weight 187.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 6-chloro-4-hydroxypicolinate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 187.58 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
