Chemical Structure

3-Amino-2-chloro-5-methoxypyridine CAS 720666-45-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

3-Amino-2-chloro-5-methoxypyridine (CAS 720666-45-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H7ClN2O and a molecular weight of 158.59 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-Amino-2-chloro-5-methoxypyridine (C6H7ClN2O) is characterized by an amide 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
