Chemical Structure

3-Chloro-2-methylaniline hydrochloride CAS 6259-40-1 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 3-Chloro-2-methylaniline hydrochloride.

3-Chloro-2-methylaniline hydrochloride (CAS 6259-40-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8ClNHCl and a molecular weight of 178.06 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 3-Chloro-2-methylaniline hydrochloride is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 178.06 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 3-Chloro-2-methylaniline hydrochloride 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.
