Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(2,6-Dibromo-4-nitrophenoxy)acetonitrile.
2-(2,6-Dibromo-4-nitrophenoxy)acetonitrile (CAS 1221793-70-9), molecular formula C8H4Br2N2O3 and molecular weight 335.94 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-(2,6-Dibromo-4-nitrophenoxy)acetonitrile (C8H4Br2N2O3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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 2-(2,6-Dibromo-4-nitrophenoxy)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.
