The occurrence of α,α,α',α'-Tetramethyl-1,3-benzenedipropionitrile 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.
α,α,α',α'-Tetramethyl-1,3-benzenedipropionitrile (CAS 69774-36-3), molecular formula C16H20N2 and molecular weight 240.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of α,α,α',α'-Tetramethyl-1,3-benzenedipropionitrile (C16H20N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), α,α,α',α'-Tetramethyl-1,3-benzenedipropionitrile 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.
