The occurrence of 3-((3,4-Dichlorobenzyl)oxy)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
3-((3,4-Dichlorobenzyl)oxy)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonitrile (CAS 320422-48-8), molecular formula C16H9Cl2NOS and molecular weight 334.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
3-((3,4-Dichlorobenzyl)oxy)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonitrile (C16H9Cl2NOS) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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.
