2-Chloro-5-methoxybenzonitrile CAS 127667-00-9 chemical structure

Description

2-Chloro-5-methoxybenzonitrile (CAS 127667-00-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6ClNO and a molecular weight of 167.59 g/mol.

2-Chloro-5-methoxybenzonitrile (C8H6ClNO) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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.

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-Chloro-5-methoxybenzonitrile 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.
