Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3,4,5,6-tetrachloropicolinate CAS 32889-72-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 288.94 g/mol gives Ethyl 3,4,5,6-tetrachloropicolinate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 3,4,5,6-tetrachloropicolinate (CAS 32889-72-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5Cl4NO2 and a molecular weight of 288.94 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Ethyl 3,4,5,6-tetrachloropicolinate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 288.94 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 3,4,5,6-tetrachloropicolinate 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.
