Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 208.26 g/mol gives Methyl 6-(ethyl(methyl)amino)-5-methylnicotinate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Methyl 6-(ethyl(methyl)amino)-5-methylnicotinate (CAS 1355232-66-4), molecular formula C11H16N2O2 and molecular weight 208.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Methyl 6-(ethyl(methyl)amino)-5-methylnicotinate (C11H16N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
