The occurrence of 5-Bromo-4-hydrazinyl-6-methylpyrimidine is closely related to a nitrile group, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
5-Bromo-4-hydrazinyl-6-methylpyrimidine (CAS 3438-58-2), molecular formula C5H7BrN4 and molecular weight 203.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
5-Bromo-4-hydrazinyl-6-methylpyrimidine (C5H7BrN4) contains a nitrile group, bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
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.
