α-(2,2,2-Trifluoroacetyl)benzeneacetonitrile CAS 492-16-0 chemical structure

Description

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

α-(2,2,2-Trifluoroacetyl)benzeneacetonitrile (CAS 492-16-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H6F3NO and a molecular weight of 213.16 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C10H6F3NO, α-(2,2,2-Trifluoroacetyl)benzeneacetonitrile contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 213.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), α-(2,2,2-Trifluoroacetyl)benzeneacetonitrile 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.
