Chemical Structure

2-Amino-6-chloro-4-(cyanomethyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile CAS 19858-57-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Amino-6-chloro-4-(cyanomethyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Amino-6-chloro-4-(cyanomethyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (CAS 19858-57-2), molecular formula C9H4ClN5 and molecular weight 217.61 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 2-Amino-6-chloro-4-(cyanomethyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 217.61 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.

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-Amino-6-chloro-4-(cyanomethyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile 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.
