Chemical Structure

2-(Furan-2-yl)benzonitrile CAS 155395-45-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 169.18 g/mol gives 2-(Furan-2-yl)benzonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-(Furan-2-yl)benzonitrile (CAS 155395-45-2), molecular formula C11H7NO and molecular weight 169.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(Furan-2-yl)benzonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 169.18 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).

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.
