Chemical Structure

2,4-Dibromo-6-(chloromethyl)pyridine CAS 1393543-40-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,4-Dibromo-6-(chloromethyl)pyridine.

2,4-Dibromo-6-(chloromethyl)pyridine (CAS 1393543-40-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H4Br2ClN and a molecular weight of 285.36 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrile group, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2,4-Dibromo-6-(chloromethyl)pyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 285.36 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 2,4-Dibromo-6-(chloromethyl)pyridine under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
