Chemical Structure

Methyl 6-(difluoromethyl)nicotinate CAS 1355729-43-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 6-(difluoromethyl)nicotinate is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 6-(difluoromethyl)nicotinate (CAS 1355729-43-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H7F2NO2 and a molecular weight of 187.14 g/mol.

Structurally, Methyl 6-(difluoromethyl)nicotinate (C8H7F2NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 187.14 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
