4-[4-(Benzyloxy)phenyl]-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (CAS 778642-53-8), molecular formula C18H19NO and molecular weight 265.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-[4-(Benzyloxy)phenyl]-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 265.35 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.
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.
