Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 6-(chloromethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile is closely related to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
6-(chloromethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile (CAS 83640-36-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H11ClN2 and a molecular weight of 158.63 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 6-(chloromethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.63 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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 6-(chloromethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile 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.
