Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)acetate CAS 101820-69-3 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)acetate (CAS 101820-69-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H12N2O2 and a molecular weight of 204.23 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)acetate (C11H12N2O2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-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.
