Chemical Structure

2-(4-methylphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid CAS 1051397-25-1 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-(4-methylphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid (C15H12N2O2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

2-(4-methylphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid (CAS 1051397-25-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H12N2O2 and a molecular weight of 252.27 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(4-methylphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
