As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Chloro-6-methyl-2-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrimidine 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.
4-Chloro-6-methyl-2-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrimidine (CAS 61310-33-6), molecular formula C10H8ClN3 and molecular weight 205.64 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 4-Chloro-6-methyl-2-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrimidine is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 205.64 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
