Chemical Structure

2-(9,10-Dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-2-yl)acetonitrile CAS 121831-04-7 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 2-(9,10-Dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-2-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 121831-04-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H9NO2, MW 247.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-(9,10-Dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-2-yl)acetonitrile (C16H9NO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(9,10-Dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-2-yl)acetonitrile 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.
