Chemical Structure

2-(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy)-6-phenylnicotinonitrile CAS 252058-98-3 chemical structure

Description

2-(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy)-6-phenylnicotinonitrile (CAS 252058-98-3), molecular formula C18H10Cl2N2O and molecular weight 341.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy)-6-phenylnicotinonitrile (C18H10Cl2N2O) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
