The occurrence of 2,3-Dichloropyrazine is closely related to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2,3-Dichloropyrazine (CAS 4858-85-9), molecular formula C4H2Cl2N2 and molecular weight 148.98 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 2,3-Dichloropyrazine is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 148.98 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.
