Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-(chlorocarbonyl)nicotinate CAS 25761-06-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 5-(chlorocarbonyl)nicotinate is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 5-(chlorocarbonyl)nicotinate (CAS 25761-06-2), molecular formula C8H6ClNO3 and molecular weight 199.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 5-(chlorocarbonyl)nicotinate (C8H6ClNO3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 5-(chlorocarbonyl)nicotinate 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.
