Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 149.15 g/mol gives 6-Methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-ol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
6-Methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-ol (CAS 606489-96-7), molecular formula C7H7N3O and molecular weight 149.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 6-Methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-ol (C7H7N3O) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 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).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-Methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-ol 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.
