Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-methyl-6-oxo-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-3-pyridinecarboxylate CAS 294853-31-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

Ethyl 2-methyl-6-oxo-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-3-pyridinecarboxylate (CAS 294853-31-9), molecular formula C16H16F3NO4 and molecular weight 343.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 2-methyl-6-oxo-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-3-pyridinecarboxylate (C16H16F3NO4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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).

CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-methyl-6-oxo-4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-3-pyridinecarboxylate 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.
