The occurrence of 2-Mercapto-4,6-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)nicotinonitrile is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-Mercapto-4,6-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)nicotinonitrile (CAS 128342-39-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H16N2O2S, MW 348.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Mercapto-4,6-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)nicotinonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 348.42 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Mercapto-4,6-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)nicotinonitrile meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
