N1,N2-di-p-tolylethane-1,2-diamine (CAS 4693-68-9), molecular formula C16H20N2 and molecular weight 240.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
N1,N2-di-p-tolylethane-1,2-diamine (C16H20N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), N1,N2-di-p-tolylethane-1,2-diamine 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.
