Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 163.26 g/mol gives 4-(Tert-butyl)-2-methylaniline distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
4-(Tert-butyl)-2-methylaniline (CAS 2909-82-2), molecular formula C11H17N and molecular weight 163.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 4-(Tert-butyl)-2-methylaniline (C11H17N) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), 4-(Tert-butyl)-2-methylaniline 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.
