2-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)malononitrile CAS 338965-08-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 225.07 g/mol gives 2-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)malononitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)malononitrile (CAS 338965-08-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H6Cl2N2, MW 225.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C10H6Cl2N2, 2-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)malononitrile contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 225.07 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)malononitrile meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
