Chemical Structure

4,6-Dichloro-5-cyanopicolinic acid CAS 861545-83-7 chemical structure

Description

4,6-Dichloro-5-cyanopicolinic acid (CAS 861545-83-7), molecular formula C7H2Cl2N2O2 and molecular weight 217.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4,6-Dichloro-5-cyanopicolinic acid (C7H2Cl2N2O2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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. 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.

CATO manufactures 4,6-Dichloro-5-cyanopicolinic acid 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.
