Chemical Structure

2,2-dicyclopentyl-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acetonitrile CAS 1955554-06-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2,2-dicyclopentyl-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 1955554-06-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H22N2, MW 254.37 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2,2-dicyclopentyl-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acetonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 254.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,2-dicyclopentyl-2-(pyridin-4-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.
