Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 122.12 g/mol gives 2-Acetylpyrazine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Acetylpyrazine (CAS 22047-25-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H6N2O, MW 122.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-Acetylpyrazine (C6H6N2O) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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).
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.
