Chemical Structure

4-Benzylidene-1-methylpyrrolidine-2,3-dione CAS 35921-36-9 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C12H15Cl2NO2, 4-Benzylidene-1-methylpyrrolidine-2,3-dione contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 276.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

4-Benzylidene-1-methylpyrrolidine-2,3-dione (CAS 35921-36-9), molecular formula C12H15Cl2NO2 and molecular weight 276.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
