Chemical Structure

6-Chloro-2-(chloromethyl)-3-methylpyridine CAS 1256812-09-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

6-Chloro-2-(chloromethyl)-3-methylpyridine (CAS 1256812-09-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H7Cl2N and a molecular weight of 176.04 g/mol.

6-Chloro-2-(chloromethyl)-3-methylpyridine (C7H7Cl2N) contains a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

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