5-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one (CAS 32897-20-4), molecular formula C8H11NO2 and molecular weight 153.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
5-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one (C8H11NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
