(R)-2-Hydroxy-2-(p-tolyl)acetonitrile CAS 10017-04-6

Description

(R)-2-Hydroxy-2-(p-tolyl)acetonitrile (CAS 10017-04-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H9NO and a molecular weight of 147.17 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (R)-2-Hydroxy-2-(p-tolyl)acetonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 147.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-2-Hydroxy-2-(p-tolyl)acetonitrile 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.
