Chemical Structure

2-(1-(4-Nitrophenyl)propylidene)malononitrile CAS 605661-10-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(1-(4-Nitrophenyl)propylidene)malononitrile is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(1-(4-Nitrophenyl)propylidene)malononitrile (CAS 605661-10-7), molecular formula C12H9N3O2 and molecular weight 227.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(1-(4-Nitrophenyl)propylidene)malononitrile (C12H9N3O2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, 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. 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 2-(1-(4-Nitrophenyl)propylidene)malononitrile 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.
