Chemical Structure

4-Acetyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde CAS 98491-67-9 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 4-Acetyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde (C8H9NO2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, 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).

4-Acetyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde (CAS 98491-67-9), molecular formula C8H9NO2 and molecular weight 151.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
