Chemical Structure

2-(tert-Butyl)-2H-isoindole CAS 55023-87-5 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-(tert-Butyl)-2H-isoindole (C12H15N) 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).

CATO supplies 2-(tert-Butyl)-2H-isoindole (CAS 55023-87-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H15N, MW 173.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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-(tert-Butyl)-2H-isoindole 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.
