Chemical Structure

5-fluoro-6-hydroxypyridine-3-carboxylic acid CAS 1526-16-5 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-fluoro-6-hydroxypyridine-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 1526-16-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H10FNO3 and a molecular weight of 163.15 g/mol.

5-fluoro-6-hydroxypyridine-3-carboxylic acid (C6H10FNO3) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-fluoro-6-hydroxypyridine-3-carboxylic acid 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.
