Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 271.54 g/mol gives 2-Chloro-3,5-dinitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-Chloro-3,5-dinitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (CAS 163238-99-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6HClF3N3O4 and a molecular weight of 271.54 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 2-Chloro-3,5-dinitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (C6HClF3N3O4) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
