5-Fluoro-6-methylnicotinaldehyde CAS 917835-70-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 139.13 g/mol gives 5-Fluoro-6-methylnicotinaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

5-Fluoro-6-methylnicotinaldehyde (CAS 917835-70-2), molecular formula C7H6FNO and molecular weight 139.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-Fluoro-6-methylnicotinaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 139.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), 5-Fluoro-6-methylnicotinaldehyde 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.
