Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)acetate CAS 885949-63-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-(3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)acetate is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl 2-(3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)acetate (CAS 885949-63-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H7ClF3NO2, MW 253.61 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl 2-(3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)acetate (C9H7ClF3NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 253.61 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-(3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)acetate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
