Chemical Structure

2-(2,5-Dichlorophenoxy)acetonitrile CAS 343867-70-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(2,5-Dichlorophenoxy)acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(2,5-Dichlorophenoxy)acetonitrile (CAS 343867-70-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H5Cl2NO, MW 202.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-(2,5-Dichlorophenoxy)acetonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 202.04 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
