Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 246.10 g/mol gives 4-(Bromomethyl)-1-naphthonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 4-(Bromomethyl)-1-naphthonitrile (CAS 41014-20-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H8BrN, MW 246.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, bromine substitution, 4-(Bromomethyl)-1-naphthonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 246.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), 4-(Bromomethyl)-1-naphthonitrile 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.
