The occurrence of 2,6-Dichloro-3-methylisonicotinonitrile is closely related to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2,6-Dichloro-3-methylisonicotinonitrile (CAS 862172-61-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H4Cl2N2 and a molecular weight of 187.03 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 2,6-Dichloro-3-methylisonicotinonitrile (C7H4Cl2N2) is characterized by a nitrile group, chlorine 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
