2-(5-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile CAS 23799-62-4 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

2-(5-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 23799-62-4), molecular formula C10H6ClNS and molecular weight 207.68 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-(5-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile (C10H6ClNS) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 207.68 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
