Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-Chloro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate CAS 79600-76-3 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.

Methyl 5-Chloro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (CAS 79600-76-3), molecular formula C6H6ClNO2 and molecular weight 159.57 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Methyl 5-Chloro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (C6H6ClNO2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
