The occurrence of 5-Ethyl-2-methyl-nicotinic acid ethyl ester 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.
5-Ethyl-2-methyl-nicotinic acid ethyl ester (CAS 22701-39-9), molecular formula C11H15NO2 and molecular weight 193.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C11H15NO2, 5-Ethyl-2-methyl-nicotinic acid ethyl ester contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 193.24 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
