Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 267.37 g/mol gives 4-(2-Methoxybenzyl)-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 4-(2-Methoxybenzyl)-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (CAS 90136-96-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H21NO, MW 267.37 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-(2-Methoxybenzyl)-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 267.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
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.
