Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 239.31 g/mol gives N-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-3-methylbenzamide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies N-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-3-methylbenzamide (CAS 292870-37-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H17NO, MW 239.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, N-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-3-methylbenzamide is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 239.31 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), N-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-3-methylbenzamide 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.
