Chemical Structure

3-Cyano-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinone CAS 4241-27-4 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 3-Cyano-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinone (C7H6N2O) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

3-Cyano-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinone (CAS 4241-27-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H6N2O and a molecular weight of 134.14 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Cyano-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinone 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.
