Chemical Structure

5-Oxopyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile CAS 5626-50-6 chemical structure

Description

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-Oxopyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 110.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
