Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxypyridin-4(1H)-one CAS 1121-23-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 111.10 g/mol gives 3-Hydroxypyridin-4(1H)-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-Hydroxypyridin-4(1H)-one (CAS 1121-23-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H5NO2 and a molecular weight of 111.10 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-Hydroxypyridin-4(1H)-one (C5H5NO2) 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 the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Hydroxypyridin-4(1H)-one 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.
