Chemical Structure

5-Methoxy-2-pyridinemethanol CAS 127978-70-5 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.

5-Methoxy-2-pyridinemethanol (CAS 127978-70-5), molecular formula C7H9NO2 and molecular weight 139.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-Methoxy-2-pyridinemethanol is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 139.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures 5-Methoxy-2-pyridinemethanol 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.
