Chemical Structure

2-Fluoro-3-methyl-5-nitrobenzonitrile CAS 1638269-41-6 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 2-Fluoro-3-methyl-5-nitrobenzonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.14 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).

2-Fluoro-3-methyl-5-nitrobenzonitrile (CAS 1638269-41-6), molecular formula C8H5FN2O2 and molecular weight 180.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
