The molecular framework of 5-(Trifluoromethyl)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile (C6H2F3N3) is characterized by a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
5-(Trifluoromethyl)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile (CAS 1279818-65-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H2F3N3 and a molecular weight of 173.10 g/mol.
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.
