Chemical Structure

6-(Bromomethyl)-2-naphthonitrile CAS 56358-46-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 6-(Bromomethyl)-2-naphthonitrile.

6-(Bromomethyl)-2-naphthonitrile (CAS 56358-46-4), molecular formula C12H8BrN and molecular weight 246.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C12H8BrN, 6-(Bromomethyl)-2-naphthonitrile contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 246.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 6-(Bromomethyl)-2-naphthonitrile 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.
