Chemical Structure

8-(Hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione CAS 2879-16-5 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 8-(Hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (C8H10N4O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 210.19 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

8-(Hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (CAS 2879-16-5), molecular formula C8H10N4O3 and molecular weight 210.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

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.
