Chemical Structure

6,7-Dimethoxy-3-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride CAS 6266-97-3 chemical structure

Description

6,7-Dimethoxy-3-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride (C12H18NO2Cl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies 6,7-Dimethoxy-3-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride (CAS 6266-97-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H18NO2Cl, MW 243.73 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.

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.
