Chemical Structure

5-Methyl-2-phenylquinoline CAS 500595-66-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Methyl-2-phenylquinoline is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-Methyl-2-phenylquinoline (CAS 500595-66-4), molecular formula C16H13N and molecular weight 219.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 5-Methyl-2-phenylquinoline (C16H13N) 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 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).

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), 5-Methyl-2-phenylquinoline 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.
