Description
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
2-Iodophenylacetonitrile (CAS 40400-15-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6IN and a molecular weight of 243.04 g/mol.
Structurally, 2-Iodophenylacetonitrile (C8H6IN) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, iodine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 243.04 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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).
CATO manufactures 2-Iodophenylacetonitrile under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
