Chemical Structure

2-amino-6-methyl-benzonitrile CAS 56043-01-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-amino-6-methyl-benzonitrile (CAS 56043-01-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8N2 and a molecular weight of 132.16 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2-amino-6-methyl-benzonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 132.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

CATO manufactures 2-amino-6-methyl-benzonitrile 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.
