Chemical Structure

(Pyridin-2-ylmethyl)phosphonic acid CAS 80241-45-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (Pyridin-2-ylmethyl)phosphonic acid is closely related to an amide group, a phosphonate group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(Pyridin-2-ylmethyl)phosphonic acid (CAS 80241-45-8), molecular formula C6H8NO3P and molecular weight 173.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a phosphonate group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (Pyridin-2-ylmethyl)phosphonic acid is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.11 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures (Pyridin-2-ylmethyl)phosphonic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
