Chemical Structure

1,8-Dioxo-1,3,4,8-tetrahydro-2h-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazine-6-carboxylic acid CAS 5368-42-3 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.

CATO supplies 1,8-Dioxo-1,3,4,8-tetrahydro-2h-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazine-6-carboxylic acid (CAS 5368-42-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H8N2O4, MW 208.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 1,8-Dioxo-1,3,4,8-tetrahydro-2h-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazine-6-carboxylic acid (C9H8N2O4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 208.17 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
