Chemical Structure

Methyl 6-bromo-5-chloronicotinate CAS 78686-80-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 6-bromo-5-chloronicotinate is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl 6-bromo-5-chloronicotinate (CAS 78686-80-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H5BrClNO2, MW 250.48 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl 6-bromo-5-chloronicotinate (C7H5BrClNO2) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Methyl 6-bromo-5-chloronicotinate 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.
