Does CAS 19490-92-7 establish a single enantiomeric form of alpha-methyl-alpha-phenyl-pyridine-2-methanol?

No. The structure has a stereogenic center, and the CAS reference does not by itself define enantiomeric composition. When stereochemical composition affects the downstream process, confirm the required form, optical specification, analytical method and acceptance basis rather than relying on total assay alone.

Is material sold under CAS 19490-92-7 automatically equivalent to a doxylamine impurity reference standard?

No. A process intermediate and a certified or compendial impurity standard can share chemical identity but differ in intended use, characterization, metrological traceability, assigned content and documentation. State whether the requirement is a manufacturing intermediate or an analytical reference, then request the corresponding certificate and analytical package.

Alpha-methyl-alpha-phenyl-pyridine-2-methanol CAS 19490-92-7

Alpha-methyl-alpha-phenyl-pyridine-2-methanol , CAS 19490-92-7 , is also known as 1-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanol or doxylamine alcohol. Its correct molecular formula is C13H13NO and molecular weight is 199.25 g/mol. It is supplied either as a synthesis intermediate or, under a separately qualified grade, as an analytical impurity reference. These uses require different specifications and documentation, so buyers should define the intended purpose, assay method, impurity profile, characterization data, physical form and quantity before quotation.

Applications and grade selection

This pyridyl tertiary alcohol is evaluated as an intermediate in doxylamine-related and other controlled pharmaceutical or fine-chemical synthesis routes. A separately characterized grade may be used in analytical method development or impurity testing. The quotation must distinguish manufacturing use from reference-standard use.

For synthesis, define assay, related substances, water, residual solvents and reaction-performance requirements.
For analytical use, define characterization, assigned value, uncertainty or traceability requirements instead of relying on a commercial purity label.
Confirm physical form, package size and storage conditions for the exact offered grade.

Storage and handling

Store tightly closed under the temperature, light and atmosphere conditions stated in the supplier’s current documentation. Avoid assuming that one vendor’s physical form, melting range or refrigerated-storage instruction applies to every grade.

Safety, documentation and procurement

Handle with gloves, eye protection and ventilation according to the current SDS. A purchase inquiry should state synthesis or analytical use, required methods and limits, quantity, package, destination, delivery schedule and documentation scope.
