Chemical Structure

3-(Benzyloxy)-2-methyl-1-(4-methylbenzyl)pyridin-4(1H)-one CAS 338965-52-9 chemical structure

Description

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.

CATO supplies 3-(Benzyloxy)-2-methyl-1-(4-methylbenzyl)pyridin-4(1H)-one (CAS 338965-52-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H21NO2, MW 319.40 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-(Benzyloxy)-2-methyl-1-(4-methylbenzyl)pyridin-4(1H)-one (C21H21NO2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 319.40 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
