Chemical Structure

1-Chloro-2-isocyano-3-methylbenzene CAS 118923-96-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

1-Chloro-2-isocyano-3-methylbenzene (CAS 118923-96-9), molecular formula C8H6ClN and molecular weight 151.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-Chloro-2-isocyano-3-methylbenzene (C8H6ClN) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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