Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-6-methylpicolinic acid hydrochloride CAS 1841081-42-2 chemical structure

Description

4-Chloro-6-methylpicolinic acid hydrochloride (CAS 1841081-42-2), molecular formula C7H6ClNO2HCl and molecular weight 208.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-Chloro-6-methylpicolinic acid hydrochloride (C7H6ClNO2HCl) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Chloro-6-methylpicolinic acid hydrochloride 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.
