4-(Tert-butyl)picolinic acid CAS 42205-74-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 4-(Tert-butyl)picolinic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

4-(Tert-butyl)picolinic acid (CAS 42205-74-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H13NO2 and a molecular weight of 179.22 g/mol.

4-(Tert-butyl)picolinic acid (C10H13NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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.
