Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 2-hydroxy-2-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)acetate CAS 1060803-75-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

tert-Butyl 2-hydroxy-2-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)acetate (CAS 1060803-75-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H17NO3 and a molecular weight of 223.27 g/mol.

The molecular framework of tert-Butyl 2-hydroxy-2-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)acetate (C12H17NO3) 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. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), tert-Butyl 2-hydroxy-2-(6-methylpyridin-2-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.
