(5-Bromo-6-chloropyridin-2-yl)methanamine (CAS 871728-53-9), molecular formula C6H6BrClN2 and molecular weight 221.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (5-Bromo-6-chloropyridin-2-yl)methanamine (C6H6BrClN2) is characterized by a nitrile group, chlorine/bromine 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
