2,3-Bis(chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride (CAS 27221-49-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H7Cl2NHCl and a molecular weight of 212.50 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 2,3-Bis(chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 212.50 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,3-Bis(chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride 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.
