Chemical Structure

3-cyanobenzoic acid CAS 1877-72-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 153.18 g/mol gives 3-cyanobenzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-cyanobenzoic acid (CAS 1877-72-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H11NO2 and a molecular weight of 153.18 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H11NO2, 3-cyanobenzoic acid contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 153.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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 3-cyanobenzoic acid 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.
