Chemical Structure

6-(Methoxycarbonyl)-2-pyridinecarboxylic Acid CAS 7170-36-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 6-(Methoxycarbonyl)-2-pyridinecarboxylic Acid (CAS 7170-36-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7NO4, MW 181.15 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, 6-(Methoxycarbonyl)-2-pyridinecarboxylic Acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 181.15 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 6-(Methoxycarbonyl)-2-pyridinecarboxylic 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.
