Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-chloro-3-cyano-6-methyl-5-nitroisonicotinate CAS 72701-63-4 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.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-chloro-3-cyano-6-methyl-5-nitroisonicotinate (CAS 72701-63-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8ClN3O4, MW 269.64 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Ethyl 2-chloro-3-cyano-6-methyl-5-nitroisonicotinate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 269.64 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-chloro-3-cyano-6-methyl-5-nitroisonicotinate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
