Chemical Structure

2-(Heptan-4-yl)pyridine CAS 54518-13-7 chemical structure

Description

2-(Heptan-4-yl)pyridine (CAS 54518-13-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H19N and a molecular weight of 177.29 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-(Heptan-4-yl)pyridine (C12H19N) 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), 2-(Heptan-4-yl)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.
