Chemical Structure

6-(Hydroxymethyl)nicotinic Acid CAS 775545-30-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 153.14 g/mol gives 6-(Hydroxymethyl)nicotinic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

6-(Hydroxymethyl)nicotinic Acid (CAS 775545-30-7), molecular formula C7H7NO3 and molecular weight 153.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 6-(Hydroxymethyl)nicotinic Acid (C7H7NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 153.14 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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), 6-(Hydroxymethyl)nicotinic Acid 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.
