Chemical Structure

3-(2-Oxo-2-phenylethyl)pyrazin-2(1H)-one CAS 66479-75-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-(2-Oxo-2-phenylethyl)pyrazin-2(1H)-one (CAS 66479-75-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H10N2O2, MW 214.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(2-Oxo-2-phenylethyl)pyrazin-2(1H)-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 214.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), 3-(2-Oxo-2-phenylethyl)pyrazin-2(1H)-one 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.
