1-(1-Naphthyl)cyclopentanecarbonitrile (CAS 56477-61-3), molecular formula C16H15N and molecular weight 221.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 1-(1-Naphthyl)cyclopentanecarbonitrile (C16H15N) 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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 1-(1-Naphthyl)cyclopentanecarbonitrile 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.
