3-Bromobutyronitrile CAS 20965-20-2 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies 3-Bromobutyronitrile (CAS 20965-20-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H6BrN, MW 148.00 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrile group, bromine substitution, 3-Bromobutyronitrile is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 148.00 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO manufactures 3-Bromobutyronitrile 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.
