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.
5-Bromo-4-chloro-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine (CAS 17119-74-3), molecular formula C6H6BrClN2S and molecular weight 253.55 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-Bromo-4-chloro-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 253.55 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Bromo-4-chloro-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
