Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxy-4-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoic acid CAS 222986-83-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Hydroxy-4-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoic acid is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Hydroxy-4-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoic acid (CAS 222986-83-6), molecular formula C12H9NO3 and molecular weight 215.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Hydroxy-4-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoic acid (C12H9NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 2-Hydroxy-4-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoic 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.
