3-(m-Tolyl)pyridine CAS 4385-67-5

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 169.22 g/mol gives 3-(m-Tolyl)pyridine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-(m-Tolyl)pyridine (CAS 4385-67-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H11N, MW 169.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3-(m-Tolyl)pyridine (C12H11N) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), 3-(m-Tolyl)pyridine 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.
