Chemical Structure

4-Hydroxy-5-methylpyrimidine CAS 17758-52-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Hydroxy-5-methylpyrimidine is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4-Hydroxy-5-methylpyrimidine (CAS 17758-52-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H6N2O, MW 110.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C5H6N2O, 4-Hydroxy-5-methylpyrimidine contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 110.11 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), 4-Hydroxy-5-methylpyrimidine 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.
