Chemical Structure

6-Chloro-2-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine CAS 28279-50-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 6-Chloro-2-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (CAS 28279-50-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6ClN3, MW 167.60 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 6-Chloro-2-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (C7H6ClN3) is characterized by a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-Chloro-2-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine 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.
