2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-acetonitrile hydrochloride (CAS 178167-16-3), molecular formula C12H12Cl2N2HCl and molecular weight 291.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-acetonitrile hydrochloride (C12H12Cl2N2HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
