Methyl 5-cyano-2-methylnicotinate CAS 1314892-87-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 176.17 g/mol gives Methyl 5-cyano-2-methylnicotinate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl 5-cyano-2-methylnicotinate (CAS 1314892-87-9), molecular formula C9H8N2O2 and molecular weight 176.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Methyl 5-cyano-2-methylnicotinate (C9H8N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 5-cyano-2-methylnicotinate 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.
