Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 217.69 g/mol gives 5-Chloro-3-methyl-2-(o-tolyl)pyridine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
5-Chloro-3-methyl-2-(o-tolyl)pyridine (CAS 2624417-46-3), molecular formula C13H12ClN and molecular weight 217.69 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 5-Chloro-3-methyl-2-(o-tolyl)pyridine is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 217.69 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
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.
