Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-6-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)nicotinic acid CAS 1261485-75-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Chloro-6-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)nicotinic acid is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-Chloro-6-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)nicotinic acid (CAS 1261485-75-9), molecular formula C13H7ClF3NO3 and molecular weight 317.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 5-Chloro-6-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)nicotinic acid (C13H7ClF3NO3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 317.65 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

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), 5-Chloro-6-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)nicotinic acid 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.
