Chemical Structure

2-(3-Ethyl-4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)malononitrile CAS 623558-68-9 chemical structure

Description

2-(3-Ethyl-4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)malononitrile (CAS 623558-68-9), molecular formula C8H7N3OS and molecular weight 193.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(3-Ethyl-4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene)malononitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 193.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
