Chemical Structure

imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-8-carboxylic acid CAS 697739-13-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-8-carboxylic acid.

imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-8-carboxylic acid (CAS 697739-13-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H14N2O2 and a molecular weight of 170.21 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-8-carboxylic acid is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
