(5,6-Dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methanamine dihydrochloride (CAS 2551114-96-4), molecular formula C8H12N2HCl and molecular weight 172.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
(5,6-Dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methanamine dihydrochloride (C8H12N2HCl) contains a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
CATO manufactures (5,6-Dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methanamine dihydrochloride under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
