Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 215.25 g/mol gives (5-(Benzyloxy)pyridin-2-yl)methanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
(5-(Benzyloxy)pyridin-2-yl)methanol (CAS 59781-11-2), molecular formula C13H13NO2 and molecular weight 215.25 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, (5-(Benzyloxy)pyridin-2-yl)methanol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 215.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (5-(Benzyloxy)pyridin-2-yl)methanol 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.
