Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,6-Dichloro-3-(4-fluorobenzyl)pyridine.
2,6-Dichloro-3-(4-fluorobenzyl)pyridine (CAS 58597-06-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H8Cl2FN and a molecular weight of 256.10 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C12H8Cl2FN, 2,6-Dichloro-3-(4-fluorobenzyl)pyridine contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 256.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,6-Dichloro-3-(4-fluorobenzyl)pyridine 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.
