Methyl 4-{5-chloro-1-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-amido}benzoate (CAS 338977-49-4), molecular formula C21H16Cl2N2O4 and molecular weight 431.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Methyl 4-{5-chloro-1-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-amido}benzoate (C21H16Cl2N2O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
