Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 154.21 g/mol gives 2-(2-(Hydroxymethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)acetonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-(2-(Hydroxymethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 2803284-16-2), molecular formula C8H14N2O and molecular weight 154.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 2-(2-(Hydroxymethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)acetonitrile (C8H14N2O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 154.21 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
