Chemical Structure

2,2'-Biquinoline CAS 119-91-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,2'-Biquinoline is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2,2'-Biquinoline (CAS 119-91-5), molecular formula C18H12N2 and molecular weight 256.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2,2'-Biquinoline is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.30 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.

CATO manufactures 2,2'-Biquinoline 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.
