Chemical Structure

N-(2-Cyanoethyl)phthalimide CAS 3589-45-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of N-(2-Cyanoethyl)phthalimide is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

N-(2-Cyanoethyl)phthalimide (CAS 3589-45-5), molecular formula C11H8N2O2 and molecular weight 200.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

N-(2-Cyanoethyl)phthalimide (C11H8N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), N-(2-Cyanoethyl)phthalimide 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.
