Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 164.03 g/mol gives 4-(Chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
4-(Chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride (CAS 1822-51-1), molecular formula C6H6ClNHCl and molecular weight 164.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
4-(Chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride (C6H6ClNHCl) contains a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
CATO manufactures 4-(Chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
