Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-3-fluoro-2,6-dimethylpyridine CAS 3786-95-6 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-Chloro-3-fluoro-2,6-dimethylpyridine (CAS 3786-95-6), molecular formula C7H7ClFN and molecular weight 159.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-Chloro-3-fluoro-2,6-dimethylpyridine (C7H7ClFN) contains a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine 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 159.59 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).

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.
