Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-nitropyridine CAS 6945-67-1 chemical structure

Description

2-Bromo-4-nitropyridine (CAS 6945-67-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H3BrN2O2 and a molecular weight of 202.99 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 2-Bromo-4-nitropyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 202.99 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.

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.

CATO manufactures 2-Bromo-4-nitropyridine 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.
