Chemical Structure

2-Propoxyacetonitrile CAS 66502-25-8 chemical structure

Description

2-Propoxyacetonitrile (CAS 66502-25-8), molecular formula C5H9NO and molecular weight 99.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Propoxyacetonitrile is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 99.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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

CATO manufactures 2-Propoxyacetonitrile 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.
