Chemical Structure

Methyl (E)-2-cyano-3-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylate CAS 121125-95-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl (E)-2-cyano-3-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylate.

CATO supplies Methyl (E)-2-cyano-3-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylate (CAS 121125-95-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8N2O2, MW 188.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl (E)-2-cyano-3-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylate (C10H8N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 188.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures Methyl (E)-2-cyano-3-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylate 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.
