1-(2-Cyanoethyl)-1-methylurea CAS 686-56-6 chemical structure

Description

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

1-(2-Cyanoethyl)-1-methylurea (CAS 686-56-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H9N3O and a molecular weight of 127.14 g/mol.

Structurally, 1-(2-Cyanoethyl)-1-methylurea (C5H9N3O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 127.14 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(2-Cyanoethyl)-1-methylurea meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
