Chemical Structure

2,4-Dichloro-6-methoxy-3-nitroquinoline CAS 259180-83-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2,4-Dichloro-6-methoxy-3-nitroquinoline (CAS 259180-83-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H6Cl2N2O3, MW 273.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2,4-Dichloro-6-methoxy-3-nitroquinoline is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 273.07 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.

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.
