Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole CAS 26557-90-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Bromo-5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole.

CATO supplies 3-Bromo-5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (CAS 26557-90-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H4BrN3, MW 161.99 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C3H4BrN3, 3-Bromo-5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole contains a nitrile group, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 161.99 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
