Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(4-bromothiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile.
2-(4-bromothiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 160005-43-6), molecular formula C6H8BrNS and molecular weight 206.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(4-bromothiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile (C6H8BrNS) is characterized by a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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-(4-bromothiophen-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.
