5-Methoxypyrimidine-2,4-diamine (CAS 18588-48-2), molecular formula C5H8N4O and molecular weight 140.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 5-Methoxypyrimidine-2,4-diamine (C5H8N4O) is characterized by 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
