Chemical Structure

5-Amino-2-hydroxypyridine-3-carboxylic acid CAS 89640-79-9 chemical structure

Description

5-Amino-2-hydroxypyridine-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 89640-79-9), molecular formula C6H6N2O3 and molecular weight 154.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-Amino-2-hydroxypyridine-3-carboxylic acid (C6H6N2O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
