Chemical Structure

2-Methylpyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine CAS 51208-84-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Methylpyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine (CAS 51208-84-5), molecular formula C8H7N3 and molecular weight 145.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Methylpyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine (C8H7N3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
