Chemical Structure

6-Amino-7-chloro-2,3-dimethylquinoxaline-5,8-dione CAS 7697-91-8 chemical structure

Description

6-Amino-7-chloro-2,3-dimethylquinoxaline-5,8-dione (CAS 7697-91-8), molecular formula C10H8ClN3O2 and molecular weight 237.64 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 6-Amino-7-chloro-2,3-dimethylquinoxaline-5,8-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 237.64 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-Amino-7-chloro-2,3-dimethylquinoxaline-5,8-dione 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.
