Chemical Structure

2-(Benzylamino)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-acetonitrile hydrochloride CAS 40682-84-6 chemical structure

Description

2-(Benzylamino)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-acetonitrile hydrochloride (CAS 40682-84-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H16N2OHCl and a molecular weight of 288.77 g/mol.

2-(Benzylamino)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-acetonitrile hydrochloride (C16H16N2OHCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

CATO manufactures 2-(Benzylamino)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-acetonitrile hydrochloride 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.
