3-(6-Methyl-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)propanenitrile CAS 500730-32-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(6-Methyl-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)propanenitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(6-Methyl-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)propanenitrile (CAS 500730-32-5), molecular formula C9H10N2O and molecular weight 162.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(6-Methyl-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)propanenitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 162.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
