Chemical Structure

6-Methylpicolinic acid hydrochloride CAS 307531-73-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Methylpicolinic acid hydrochloride is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

6-Methylpicolinic acid hydrochloride (CAS 307531-73-3), molecular formula C7H7NO2HCl and molecular weight 173.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

6-Methylpicolinic acid hydrochloride (C7H7NO2HCl) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 6-Methylpicolinic acid hydrochloride under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
