Chemical Structure

4-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxobutanenitrile CAS 344281-57-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxobutanenitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxobutanenitrile (CAS 344281-57-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H11BrClNO and a molecular weight of 348.62 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C16H11BrClNO, 4-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxobutanenitrile contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 348.62 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.
