Chemical Structure

3-(2-Methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)propanoic acid CAS 22609-25-2 chemical structure

Description

3-(2-Methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)propanoic acid (CAS 22609-25-2), molecular formula C13H13NO3 and molecular weight 231.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(2-Methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)propanoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 231.25 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(2-Methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolin-3-yl)propanoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
