Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-4-ethylpyridine CAS 40325-11-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-Chloro-4-ethylpyridine under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

2-Chloro-4-ethylpyridine (CAS 40325-11-9), molecular formula C7H8ClN and molecular weight 141.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Chloro-4-ethylpyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 141.60 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
