Chemical Structure

3-Nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid CAS 62195-06-6 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.

3-Nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 62195-06-6), molecular formula C8H5N3O4 and molecular weight 207.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 207.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

CATO manufactures 3-Nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
