Chemical Structure

5,6-Dichloro-3-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one CAS 55609-71-7 chemical structure

Description

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 5,6-Dichloro-3-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 179.00 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

5,6-Dichloro-3-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one (CAS 55609-71-7), molecular formula C5H4Cl2N2O and molecular weight 179.00 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
