Chemical Structure

4-(2,6-Dimethyl-4-oxopyridin-1(4H)-yl)butanoic acid CAS 933690-54-1 chemical structure

Description

4-(2,6-Dimethyl-4-oxopyridin-1(4H)-yl)butanoic acid (CAS 933690-54-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H15NO3 and a molecular weight of 209.24 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-(2,6-Dimethyl-4-oxopyridin-1(4H)-yl)butanoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 209.24 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).

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.
