2-(8-Bromonaphthalen-2-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 127810-64-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H8BrN and a molecular weight of 246.10 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, bromine substitution, 2-(8-Bromonaphthalen-2-yl)acetonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 246.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
