Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-2,2-diphenylbutanenitrile CAS 68318-96-7 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 4-Chloro-2,2-diphenylbutanenitrile (C16H14ClN) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

4-Chloro-2,2-diphenylbutanenitrile (CAS 68318-96-7), molecular formula C16H14ClN and molecular weight 255.74 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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-Chloro-2,2-diphenylbutanenitrile 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.
