The occurrence of Methyl 2-{5-chloro-1-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-amido}benzoate is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Methyl 2-{5-chloro-1-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-amido}benzoate (CAS 338977-31-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H16Cl2N2O4, MW 431.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Methyl 2-{5-chloro-1-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-amido}benzoate (C21H16Cl2N2O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, 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. 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), Methyl 2-{5-chloro-1-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-amido}benzoate 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.
