Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine CAS 949-42-8 chemical structure

Description

2-Methyl-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine (C6H3Cl6N3) contains a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

2-Methyl-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine (CAS 949-42-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H3Cl6N3 and a molecular weight of 329.83 g/mol.

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.
