Chemical Structure

2-(3-Oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)acetonitrile CAS 18327-98-5 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

2-(3-Oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 18327-98-5), molecular formula C10H7NO2 and molecular weight 173.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(3-Oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)acetonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.17 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(3-Oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)acetonitrile meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
