Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 161.16 g/mol gives Methyl 2-Cyanobenzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Methyl 2-Cyanobenzoate (CAS 6587-24-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H7NO2 and a molecular weight of 161.16 g/mol.
Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 2-Cyanobenzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 161.16 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.
CATO manufactures Methyl 2-Cyanobenzoate 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.
