Chemical Structure

2-(1-Benzothiophen-3-yl)acetonitrile CAS 3216-48-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(1-Benzothiophen-3-yl)acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(1-Benzothiophen-3-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 3216-48-6), molecular formula C10H7NS and molecular weight 173.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-(1-Benzothiophen-3-yl)acetonitrile (C10H7NS) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 173.23 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
