Chemical Structure

2,6-Dihydroxyhexanenitrile CAS 17264-36-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,6-Dihydroxyhexanenitrile is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2,6-Dihydroxyhexanenitrile (CAS 17264-36-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H11NO2, MW 129.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2,6-Dihydroxyhexanenitrile (C6H11NO2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

CATO manufactures 2,6-Dihydroxyhexanenitrile under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
