3-Bromo-2-ethylpyridine (CAS 38749-81-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8BrN and a molecular weight of 186.05 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C7H8BrN, 3-Bromo-2-ethylpyridine contains a nitrile group, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 186.05 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
