Chemical Structure

4-(5-Methyl-2-pyridyl)benzonitrile CAS 102672-85-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 4-(5-Methyl-2-pyridyl)benzonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 194.23 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).

4-(5-Methyl-2-pyridyl)benzonitrile (CAS 102672-85-5), molecular formula C13H10N2 and molecular weight 194.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
