Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-5-(difluoromethyl)-6-hydroxynicotinic acid CAS 1806068-18-7 chemical structure

Description

2-Bromo-5-(difluoromethyl)-6-hydroxynicotinic acid (CAS 1806068-18-7), molecular formula C7H4BrF2NO3 and molecular weight 268.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C7H4BrF2NO3, 2-Bromo-5-(difluoromethyl)-6-hydroxynicotinic acid contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 268.01 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
