Chemical Structure

5-Methoxynicotinic Acid CAS 20826-03-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 5-Methoxynicotinic Acid (CAS 20826-03-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H7NO3, MW 153.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 5-Methoxynicotinic Acid (C7H7NO3) 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 5-Methoxynicotinic Acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
