4,6-Diiodo-2-methylpyrimidine CAS 66298-49-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 4,6-Diiodo-2-methylpyrimidine (CAS 66298-49-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H4I2N2, MW 345.91 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

4,6-Diiodo-2-methylpyrimidine (C5H4I2N2) contains a nitrile group, iodine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

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.
