Chemical Structure

2-{4-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]phenyl}acetonitrile CAS 175135-47-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-{4-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]phenyl}acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-{4-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]phenyl}acetonitrile (CAS 175135-47-4), molecular formula C16H15NO2 and molecular weight 253.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-{4-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]phenyl}acetonitrile (C16H15NO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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-{4-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]phenyl}acetonitrile 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.
