Chemical Structure

alpha-Hydroxy-4-phenoxybenzeneacetonitrile CAS 177793-92-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 225.24 g/mol gives alpha-Hydroxy-4-phenoxybenzeneacetonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies alpha-Hydroxy-4-phenoxybenzeneacetonitrile (CAS 177793-92-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H11NO2, MW 225.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, alpha-Hydroxy-4-phenoxybenzeneacetonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 225.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 alpha-Hydroxy-4-phenoxybenzeneacetonitrile 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.
