2-(2-Bromo-4-chlorophenyl)acetonitrile (CAS 52864-54-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5BrClN and a molecular weight of 230.49 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 2-(2-Bromo-4-chlorophenyl)acetonitrile (C8H5BrClN) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine/bromine 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
