Chemical Structure

4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine CAS 1978-59-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine.

4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (CAS 1978-59-2), molecular formula C11H12FN and molecular weight 177.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 177.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
