Chemical Structure

(4-Methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)acetonitrile CAS 218921-06-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-Methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(4-Methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 218921-06-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12N2O and a molecular weight of 176.22 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (4-Methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)acetonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 176.22 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), (4-Methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-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.
