Chemical Structure

3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine Dihydrochloride CAS 64285-73-0 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C16H20N2HCl, 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine Dihydrochloride contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 276.81 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine Dihydrochloride (CAS 64285-73-0), molecular formula C16H20N2HCl and molecular weight 276.81 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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), 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine 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.
