CATO supplies 1-(2-Ethylhexyl)-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (CAS 51418-88-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H22N2O2, MW 262.35 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C15H22N2O2, 1-(2-Ethylhexyl)-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 262.35 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), 1-(2-Ethylhexyl)-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile 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.
