Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-4-n-propylpyridine CAS 3478-72-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 135.21 g/mol gives 3-Methyl-4-n-propylpyridine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-Methyl-4-n-propylpyridine (CAS 3478-72-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H13N, MW 135.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-Methyl-4-n-propylpyridine (C9H13N) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 135.21 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), 3-Methyl-4-n-propylpyridine 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.
