Chemical Structure

2-(Hydroxymethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine CAS 31181-84-7 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)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.

CATO supplies 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (CAS 31181-84-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6F3NO, MW 177.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (C7H6F3NO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 177.12 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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