Chemical Structure

4-Methylcathinone hydrochloride CAS 6941-17-9 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 4-Methylcathinone hydrochloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 199.68 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

4-Methylcathinone hydrochloride (CAS 6941-17-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H13NOHCl and a molecular weight of 199.68 g/mol.

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-Methylcathinone hydrochloride 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.
