5-Fluoro-2-hydroxypyridine CAS 51173-05-8 chemical structure

Description

5-Fluoro-2-hydroxypyridine (CAS 51173-05-8), molecular formula C5H4FNO and molecular weight 113.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-Fluoro-2-hydroxypyridine (C5H4FNO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Fluoro-2-hydroxypyridine meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
