Chemical Structure

N-(4-Hydroxypyridin-2-yl)acetamide CAS 2003194-48-5 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of N-(4-Hydroxypyridin-2-yl)acetamide (C7H8N2O2) 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. 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).

N-(4-Hydroxypyridin-2-yl)acetamide (CAS 2003194-48-5), molecular formula C7H8N2O2 and molecular weight 152.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
