Chemical Structure

1-(2-Methylpyridin-3-yl)ethanol CAS 90086-87-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(2-Methylpyridin-3-yl)ethanol is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1-(2-Methylpyridin-3-yl)ethanol (CAS 90086-87-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H11NO, MW 137.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1-(2-Methylpyridin-3-yl)ethanol is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 137.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

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.
