Chemical Structure

2-Methylcyclopropane-1-carbonitrile CAS 6142-59-2 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrile group, 2-Methylcyclopropane-1-carbonitrile is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 81.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

CATO supplies 2-Methylcyclopropane-1-carbonitrile (CAS 6142-59-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H7N, MW 81.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
