The occurrence of 4,5-Dimethylpicolinic acid is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
4,5-Dimethylpicolinic acid (CAS 802256-42-4), molecular formula C8H9NO2 and molecular weight 151.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
4,5-Dimethylpicolinic acid (C8H9NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4,5-Dimethylpicolinic 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.
