Chemical Structure

(3,5-Dichloro-pyridin-2-yl)-acetonitrile CAS 158141-35-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 187.03 g/mol gives (3,5-Dichloro-pyridin-2-yl)-acetonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

(3,5-Dichloro-pyridin-2-yl)-acetonitrile (CAS 158141-35-6), molecular formula C7H4Cl2N2 and molecular weight 187.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (3,5-Dichloro-pyridin-2-yl)-acetonitrile (C7H4Cl2N2) contains a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 187.03 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

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.
