Chemical Structure

6-Methyl-3-nitropyridin-2-ol CAS 39745-39-6 chemical structure

Description

6-Methyl-3-nitropyridin-2-ol (CAS 39745-39-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H6N2O3 and a molecular weight of 154.12 g/mol.

Structurally, 6-Methyl-3-nitropyridin-2-ol (C6H6N2O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 154.12 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-Methyl-3-nitropyridin-2-ol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
