Chemical Structure

4-Methyl-N-(4-methylbenzylidene)aniline CAS 16979-20-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 209.29 g/mol gives 4-Methyl-N-(4-methylbenzylidene)aniline distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-Methyl-N-(4-methylbenzylidene)aniline (CAS 16979-20-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H15N and a molecular weight of 209.29 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 4-Methyl-N-(4-methylbenzylidene)aniline is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 209.29 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
