Chemical Structure

6-Hydroxy-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid CAS 1820665-54-0 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 6-Hydroxy-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid (C7H5N3O3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

6-Hydroxy-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid (CAS 1820665-54-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H5N3O3 and a molecular weight of 179.13 g/mol.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
