Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acetic acid CAS 52800-40-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 216.03 g/mol gives 2-Bromo-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acetic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Bromo-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acetic acid (CAS 52800-40-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H6BrNO2 and a molecular weight of 216.03 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acetic acid (C7H6BrNO2) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

CATO manufactures 2-Bromo-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acetic acid 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.
