Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 169.13 g/mol gives 3-Hydroxy-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-carboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 3-Hydroxy-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 2147483-68-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H7NO4, MW 169.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Hydroxy-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 169.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
