Chemical Structure

2-Isobutyl-4-methylpyridine CAS 85665-88-9 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.

2-Isobutyl-4-methylpyridine (CAS 85665-88-9), molecular formula C10H15N and molecular weight 149.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2-Isobutyl-4-methylpyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 149.23 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.
