The occurrence of 3-Hydroxy-4-methylpyridine is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 3-Hydroxy-4-methylpyridine (CAS 1121-19-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H7NO, MW 109.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-Hydroxy-4-methylpyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 109.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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), 3-Hydroxy-4-methylpyridine 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.
