Chemical Structure

4-Iodo-3-methylbenzonitrile CAS 42872-85-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-Iodo-3-methylbenzonitrile.

4-Iodo-3-methylbenzonitrile (CAS 42872-85-5), molecular formula C8H6IN and molecular weight 243.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-Iodo-3-methylbenzonitrile (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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Iodo-3-methylbenzonitrile 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.
