The occurrence of 2-(1-Ethyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2-(1-Ethyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 1260659-41-3), molecular formula C8H8F3N3 and molecular weight 203.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-(1-Ethyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetonitrile (C8H8F3N3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine 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.
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.
