Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 6-Methyl-9H-purin-8-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 150.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
6-Methyl-9H-purin-8-ol (CAS 39209-57-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H6N4O and a molecular weight of 150.14 g/mol.
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.
