4-Chloro-2-isobutylpyridine (CAS 579475-97-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H12ClN and a molecular weight of 169.65 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 4-Chloro-2-isobutylpyridine (C9H12ClN) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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. 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Chloro-2-isobutylpyridine 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.
