3-Bromomethyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine CAS 447402-01-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Bromomethyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine.

3-Bromomethyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (CAS 447402-01-9), molecular formula C7H5BrF3N and molecular weight 240.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C7H5BrF3N, 3-Bromomethyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine contains a nitrile group, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 240.02 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.

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.
