Chemical Structure

5-(Chloromethyl)isoquinoline hydrochloride CAS 80278-68-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-(Chloromethyl)isoquinoline 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.

5-(Chloromethyl)isoquinoline hydrochloride (CAS 80278-68-8), molecular formula C10H8ClNHCl and molecular weight 214.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C10H8ClNHCl, 5-(Chloromethyl)isoquinoline hydrochloride contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 214.09 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
