Chemical Structure

2-(3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)acetonitrile CAS 58459-40-8 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 2-(3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)acetonitrile.

2-(3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)acetonitrile (CAS 58459-40-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H7NO2 and a molecular weight of 149.15 g/mol.

2-(3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)acetonitrile (C8H7NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 2-(3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)acetonitrile 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.
