Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentanenitrile CAS 59346-56-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentanenitrile is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-Hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentanenitrile (CAS 59346-56-4), molecular formula C8H15NO and molecular weight 141.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 3-Hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentanenitrile (C8H15NO) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentanenitrile 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.
