3-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carbaldehyde CAS 1001754-85-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carbaldehyde.

3-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carbaldehyde (CAS 1001754-85-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8N2O and a molecular weight of 160.17 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C9H8N2O, 3-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carbaldehyde contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 160.17 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
