Chemical Structure

4-(3-Methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine CAS 71916-52-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-(3-Methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (CAS 71916-52-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H15N and a molecular weight of 173.25 g/mol.

4-(3-Methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (C12H15N) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(3-Methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine 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.
