Chemical Structure

N-(Pyridin-3-ylmethylene)methanamine CAS 16273-54-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of N-(Pyridin-3-ylmethylene)methanamine is closely related to a nitrile group, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

N-(Pyridin-3-ylmethylene)methanamine (CAS 16273-54-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8N2 and a molecular weight of 120.15 g/mol.

The molecular framework of N-(Pyridin-3-ylmethylene)methanamine (C7H8N2) is characterized by a nitrile group, an aromatic ring system. 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).

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.
