Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 159.57 g/mol gives 4-Chloro-2-methoxypyridin-3-ol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 4-Chloro-2-methoxypyridin-3-ol (CAS 1261685-75-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H6ClNO2, MW 159.57 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
4-Chloro-2-methoxypyridin-3-ol (C6H6ClNO2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
