Chemical Structure

5-(Pyridin-3-yl)pentan-2-one CAS 90874-88-7 chemical structure

Description

5-(Pyridin-3-yl)pentan-2-one (CAS 90874-88-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H13NO and a molecular weight of 163.22 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 5-(Pyridin-3-yl)pentan-2-one (C10H13NO) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 5-(Pyridin-3-yl)pentan-2-one 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.
