Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 148.16 g/mol gives 5-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

5-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-one (CAS 778520-35-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8N2O and a molecular weight of 148.16 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-one is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 148.16 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.
