Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.24 g/mol gives 7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (CAS 30384-94-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H16N2O and a molecular weight of 168.24 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (C9H16N2O) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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).
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.
