Chemical Structure

N-(4-Bromo-2-methylphenyl)-2-cyanoacetamide CAS 1016825-04-9 chemical structure

Description

N-(4-Bromo-2-methylphenyl)-2-cyanoacetamide (CAS 1016825-04-9), molecular formula C10H9BrN2O and molecular weight 253.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, N-(4-Bromo-2-methylphenyl)-2-cyanoacetamide is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 253.10 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), N-(4-Bromo-2-methylphenyl)-2-cyanoacetamide 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.
