Chemical Structure

2-(Bromomethyl)acrylonitrile CAS 17200-53-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 2-(Bromomethyl)acrylonitrile (CAS 17200-53-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H4BrN, MW 145.99 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrile group, bromine substitution, 2-(Bromomethyl)acrylonitrile is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 145.99 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
