The occurrence of 5,6-Bis(methylamino)pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 5,6-Bis(methylamino)pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile (CAS 150960-06-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8N6, MW 188.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 5,6-Bis(methylamino)pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 188.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
