3-Ethyl-3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,3'-biquinolin]-2-one (CAS 918645-78-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H20N2O and a molecular weight of 316.40 g/mol.
Structurally, 3-Ethyl-3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,3'-biquinolin]-2-one (C21H20N2O) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 13.0, corresponding to approximately 13 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 316.40 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
