Chemical Structure

2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-4-methylpyridine CAS 222551-24-8 chemical structure

Description

2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-4-methylpyridine (CAS 222551-24-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H10FN and a molecular weight of 187.21 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-4-methylpyridine is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 187.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-4-methylpyridine 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.
