Chemical Structure

3-(Pyridin-2-yl)benzonitrile CAS 4350-51-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(Pyridin-2-yl)benzonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(Pyridin-2-yl)benzonitrile (CAS 4350-51-0), molecular formula C12H8N2 and molecular weight 180.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-(Pyridin-2-yl)benzonitrile (C12H8N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
