Chemical Structure

6,6'-Di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine CAS 6859-28-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 6,6'-Di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 268.40 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.

CATO supplies 6,6'-Di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (CAS 6859-28-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H24N2, MW 268.40 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.
