Chemical Structure

6-Hydroxyquinoline-5-carbaldehyde CAS 77717-71-6 chemical structure

Description

6-Hydroxyquinoline-5-carbaldehyde (CAS 77717-71-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H7NO2 and a molecular weight of 173.17 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6-Hydroxyquinoline-5-carbaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.17 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).

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-Hydroxyquinoline-5-carbaldehyde 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.
