3-Methyl-3,4,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline-2,6(1H,5H)-dione (CAS 77903-18-5), molecular formula C10H13NO2 and molecular weight 179.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C10H13NO2, 3-Methyl-3,4,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline-2,6(1H,5H)-dione contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 179.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
