CATO supplies 5-Methylpyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (CAS 4985-92-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H7NO, MW 121.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 5-Methylpyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (C7H7NO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 121.14 g/mol, it falls into the low-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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Methylpyridine-2-carboxaldehyde 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.
