Chemical Structure

2,3,6-Trichloropyridine CAS 6515-09-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2,3,6-Trichloropyridine (CAS 6515-09-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H2Cl3N, MW 182.44 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2,3,6-Trichloropyridine (C5H2Cl3N) is characterized by a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. 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 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
