Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, bromine substitution, 1-(4-Bromobenzyl)piperidine is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 254.17 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).
1-(4-Bromobenzyl)piperidine (CAS 178162-69-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H16BrN and a molecular weight of 254.17 g/mol.
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.
