Chemical Structure

2-(4-Methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)acetonitrile CAS 105003-90-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-(4-Methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)acetonitrile (CAS 105003-90-5), molecular formula C9H8N2O3 and molecular weight 192.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(4-Methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)acetonitrile (C9H8N2O3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

CATO manufactures 2-(4-Methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)acetonitrile under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
