Chemical Structure

6-Methyl-2,2-bipyridine CAS 56100-22-2 chemical structure

Description

6-Methyl-2,2-bipyridine (CAS 56100-22-2), molecular formula C11H10N2 and molecular weight 170.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 6-Methyl-2,2-bipyridine (C11H10N2) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
