Chemical Structure

2-(2,3,5-Trichlorophenyl)acetonitrile CAS 4681-16-7 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-(2,3,5-Trichlorophenyl)acetonitrile (C8H4Cl3N) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
