Chemical Structure

2-(Bromomethyl)pyridin-3-ol hydrobromide CAS 87440-88-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-(Bromomethyl)pyridin-3-ol hydrobromide (CAS 87440-88-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H6BrNOHBr, MW 268.94 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-(Bromomethyl)pyridin-3-ol hydrobromide (C6H6BrNOHBr) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. 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.

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.
