Chemical Structure

2-(5,6-Dimethyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-ylidene)acetonitrile CAS 58138-31-1 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(5,6-Dimethyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-ylidene)acetonitrile meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

2-(5,6-Dimethyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-ylidene)acetonitrile (CAS 58138-31-1), molecular formula C12H9NO2 and molecular weight 199.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(5,6-Dimethyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-ylidene)acetonitrile (C12H9NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
