The occurrence of 2,6-Dichloro-4-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic Acid is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2,6-Dichloro-4-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic Acid (CAS 62774-90-7), molecular formula C7H5Cl2NO2 and molecular weight 206.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2,6-Dichloro-4-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic Acid (C7H5Cl2NO2) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
