Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-2-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine CAS 865156-59-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-Bromo-2-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine.

4-Bromo-2-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine (CAS 865156-59-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H6BrNO and a molecular weight of 188.02 g/mol.

Structurally, 4-Bromo-2-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine (C6H6BrNO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 188.02 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

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.
