Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-benzoyl-4-cyanobutanoate CAS 5415-48-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-benzoyl-4-cyanobutanoate is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 2-benzoyl-4-cyanobutanoate (CAS 5415-48-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H15NO3 and a molecular weight of 245.27 g/mol.

Ethyl 2-benzoyl-4-cyanobutanoate (C14H15NO3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 Ethyl 2-benzoyl-4-cyanobutanoate 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.
