Chemical Structure

4-(4-Hydroxyphenoxy)benzonitrile CAS 63555-08-8 chemical structure

Description

4-(4-Hydroxyphenoxy)benzonitrile (CAS 63555-08-8), molecular formula C13H9NO2 and molecular weight 211.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-(4-Hydroxyphenoxy)benzonitrile (C13H9NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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 4-(4-Hydroxyphenoxy)benzonitrile 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.
