1-(4-Methylphenyl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-beta-carboline hydrochloride CAS 3380-70-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

1-(4-Methylphenyl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-beta-carboline hydrochloride (CAS 3380-70-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H18N2HCl and a molecular weight of 298.81 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 1-(4-Methylphenyl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-beta-carboline hydrochloride is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 298.81 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(4-Methylphenyl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-beta-carboline hydrochloride 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.
