Chemical Structure

4-(Pyridin-2-ylmethyl)aniline CAS 58498-12-7 chemical structure

Description

4-(Pyridin-2-ylmethyl)aniline (CAS 58498-12-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H12N2 and a molecular weight of 184.24 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 4-(Pyridin-2-ylmethyl)aniline is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 184.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), 4-(Pyridin-2-ylmethyl)aniline 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.
