Chemical Structure

(E)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile CAS 39077-59-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

(E)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile (CAS 39077-59-3), molecular formula C8H6N2 and molecular weight 130.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (E)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile (C8H6N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 130.15 g/mol, it falls into the low-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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), (E)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile 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.
