Chemical Structure

6-(Aminomethyl)uracil CAS 20989-02-0 chemical structure

Description

6-(Aminomethyl)uracil (CAS 20989-02-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H7N3O2 and a molecular weight of 141.13 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6-(Aminomethyl)uracil is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 141.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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

CATO manufactures 6-(Aminomethyl)uracil 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.
