Chemical Structure

2,6-dimethylbenzene-1,4-diamine dihydrochloride CAS 56496-89-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,6-dimethylbenzene-1,4-diamine dihydrochloride is closely related to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2,6-dimethylbenzene-1,4-diamine dihydrochloride (CAS 56496-89-0), molecular formula C8H12N2HCl and molecular weight 172.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,6-dimethylbenzene-1,4-diamine dihydrochloride (C8H12N2HCl) is characterized by a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,6-dimethylbenzene-1,4-diamine dihydrochloride 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.
