Chemical Structure

3-(Trifluoromethyl)pyrazole-4-carbonitrile CAS 318951-60-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(Trifluoromethyl)pyrazole-4-carbonitrile is closely related to a nitrile group, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(Trifluoromethyl)pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (CAS 318951-60-9), molecular formula C5H2F3N3 and molecular weight 161.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-(Trifluoromethyl)pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (C5H2F3N3) contains a nitrile group, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
