2-Bromo-3,6-dimethylpyridine (CAS 38749-92-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8BrN and a molecular weight of 186.05 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrile group, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Bromo-3,6-dimethylpyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 186.05 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
