Chemical Structure

2-Methoxy-3(or 5)-methylpyrazine CAS 68378-13-2 chemical structure

Description

2-Methoxy-3(or 5)-methylpyrazine (CAS 68378-13-2), molecular formula C6H8N2O and molecular weight 124.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-Methoxy-3(or 5)-methylpyrazine is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 124.14 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).

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

CATO manufactures 2-Methoxy-3(or 5)-methylpyrazine 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.
