Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-cyano-3-methylbenzoate CAS 500024-27-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-cyano-3-methylbenzoate is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 2-cyano-3-methylbenzoate (CAS 500024-27-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H9NO2 and a molecular weight of 175.18 g/mol.

Structurally, Methyl 2-cyano-3-methylbenzoate (C10H9NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 175.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

CATO manufactures Methyl 2-cyano-3-methylbenzoate 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.
