Chemical Structure

2-Cyano-2-(pyrazin-2-yl)acetamide CAS 129794-39-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 162.15 g/mol gives 2-Cyano-2-(pyrazin-2-yl)acetamide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Cyano-2-(pyrazin-2-yl)acetamide (CAS 129794-39-4), molecular formula C7H6N4O and molecular weight 162.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Cyano-2-(pyrazin-2-yl)acetamide (C7H6N4O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 162.15 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
