Chemical Structure

3-Formyl-4-methoxybenzonitrile CAS 21962-53-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 161.16 g/mol gives 3-Formyl-4-methoxybenzonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-Formyl-4-methoxybenzonitrile (CAS 21962-53-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H7NO2 and a molecular weight of 161.16 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-Formyl-4-methoxybenzonitrile (C9H7NO2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
