Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 164.25 g/mol gives N,N,N',N'-Tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
N,N,N',N'-Tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (CAS 100-22-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H16N2 and a molecular weight of 164.25 g/mol.
The molecular framework of N,N,N',N'-Tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (C10H16N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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 N,N,N',N'-Tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine 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.
