Chemical Structure

2-(4-Methylbenzyl)piperidine CAS 63587-56-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(4-Methylbenzyl)piperidine is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(4-Methylbenzyl)piperidine (CAS 63587-56-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H19N and a molecular weight of 189.30 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-(4-Methylbenzyl)piperidine (C13H19N) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 189.30 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures 2-(4-Methylbenzyl)piperidine under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
