Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylate CAS 67286-71-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylate (CAS 67286-71-9), molecular formula C10H14N2O2 and molecular weight 194.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylate (C10H14N2O2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
