Chemical Structure

2-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acetonitrile CAS 31603-77-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 31603-77-7), molecular formula C14H11N and molecular weight 193.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acetonitrile (C14H11N) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 193.24 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.

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-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acetonitrile 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.
