2-(Quinolin-2-yl)acetonitrile CAS 14068-28-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.19 g/mol gives 2-(Quinolin-2-yl)acetonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-(Quinolin-2-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 14068-28-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H8N2, MW 168.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2-(Quinolin-2-yl)acetonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.19 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Quinolin-2-yl)acetonitrile 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.
