2-Amino-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (CAS 40769-70-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H5N3O3 and a molecular weight of 155.11 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 2-Amino-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (C5H5N3O3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, 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).
