Chemical Structure

1-[4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]cyclopentanecarbonitrile CAS 483368-73-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-[4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]cyclopentanecarbonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-[4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]cyclopentanecarbonitrile (CAS 483368-73-6), molecular formula C13H12F3N and molecular weight 239.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 1-[4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]cyclopentanecarbonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 239.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures 1-[4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]cyclopentanecarbonitrile under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
