Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-1-(pyridin-4-yl)ethan-1-ol CAS 174615-70-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Chloro-1-(pyridin-4-yl)ethan-1-ol is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Chloro-1-(pyridin-4-yl)ethan-1-ol (CAS 174615-70-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8ClNO and a molecular weight of 157.60 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-Chloro-1-(pyridin-4-yl)ethan-1-ol (C7H8ClNO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 157.60 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-1-(pyridin-4-yl)ethan-1-ol 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.
