Chemical Structure

2,6-Dibromo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid CAS 55304-85-3 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 2,6-Dibromo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid.

CATO supplies 2,6-Dibromo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (CAS 55304-85-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H3Br2NO2, MW 280.90 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2,6-Dibromo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (C6H3Br2NO2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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

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.
