Chemical Structure

4-(Chloromethyl)-6-methyl-2-phenylpyrimidine CAS 131291-62-8 chemical structure

Description

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

4-(Chloromethyl)-6-methyl-2-phenylpyrimidine (CAS 131291-62-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H11ClN2 and a molecular weight of 218.68 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 4-(Chloromethyl)-6-methyl-2-phenylpyrimidine is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 218.68 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
