Chemical Structure

2-(3,5-Dimethoxybenzylidene)malononitrile CAS 26495-19-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(3,5-Dimethoxybenzylidene)malononitrile.

CATO supplies 2-(3,5-Dimethoxybenzylidene)malononitrile (CAS 26495-19-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H10N2O2, MW 214.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-(3,5-Dimethoxybenzylidene)malononitrile (C12H10N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(3,5-Dimethoxybenzylidene)malononitrile 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.
