Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 167.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
Methyl 6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate (CAS 51146-06-6), molecular formula C8H9NO3 and molecular weight 167.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
