Chemical Structure

Diethyl 2-(4-cyanophenyl)malonate CAS 201404-26-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Diethyl 2-(4-cyanophenyl)malonate.

Diethyl 2-(4-cyanophenyl)malonate (CAS 201404-26-4), molecular formula C14H15NO4 and molecular weight 261.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Diethyl 2-(4-cyanophenyl)malonate (C14H15NO4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 Diethyl 2-(4-cyanophenyl)malonate 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.
