3-(2-Chlorophenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine (CAS 2746-41-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H8ClN3 and a molecular weight of 229.67 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 3-(2-Chlorophenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 229.67 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.
