2-(1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinolin-3-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 63006-86-0), molecular formula C11H12N2 and molecular weight 172.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinolin-3-yl)acetonitrile (C11H12N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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).
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.
