4786-20-3 Crotononitrile 2-Butenenitrile AI3-28717 Crotonic nitrile Crotonique nitrile [French] Crotonitrile Crotonnitrile 1-Cyanopropene EINECS 225-335-1 beta-Methylacrylonitrile NSC 165574 1-Propenyl cyanide Crotonique nitrile (CAS 4786-20-3), molecular formula C4H5N and molecular weight 67.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 4786-20-3 Crotononitrile 2-Butenenitrile AI3-28717 Crotonic nitrile Crotonique nitrile [French] Crotonitrile Crotonnitrile 1-Cyanopropene EINECS 225-335-1 beta-Methylacrylonitrile NSC 165574 1-Propenyl cyanide Crotonique nitrile (C4H5N) is characterized by a nitrile group. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
