Chemical Structure

3-Amino-6-methylpyridin-2-ol hydrochloride CAS 1257665-17-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Amino-6-methylpyridin-2-ol hydrochloride is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-Amino-6-methylpyridin-2-ol hydrochloride (CAS 1257665-17-0), molecular formula C6H8N2OHCl and molecular weight 160.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 3-Amino-6-methylpyridin-2-ol hydrochloride is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 160.60 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-Amino-6-methylpyridin-2-ol hydrochloride 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.
