Chemical Structure

N-tert-Butyl-biguanide hydrochloride CAS 4762-17-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies N-tert-Butyl-biguanide hydrochloride (CAS 4762-17-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H16N5Cl, MW 193.68 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, N-tert-Butyl-biguanide hydrochloride (C6H16N5Cl) contains chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 193.68 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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), N-tert-Butyl-biguanide hydrochloride 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.
