2-(1-Phenylethylidene)malononitrile CAS 5447-87-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-(1-Phenylethylidene)malononitrile 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.

2-(1-Phenylethylidene)malononitrile (CAS 5447-87-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H8N2 and a molecular weight of 168.19 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-(1-Phenylethylidene)malononitrile (C11H8N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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