Chemical Structure

5-(chloromethyl)-2-methylpyridine CAS 52426-66-1 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 5-(chloromethyl)-2-methylpyridine.

5-(chloromethyl)-2-methylpyridine (CAS 52426-66-1), molecular formula C7H8ClN and molecular weight 141.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-(chloromethyl)-2-methylpyridine (C7H8ClN) contains a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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.

CATO manufactures 5-(chloromethyl)-2-methylpyridine 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.
