Chemical Structure

2-(6-Methoxy-2-naphthyl)acetonitrile CAS 71056-96-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(6-Methoxy-2-naphthyl)acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(6-Methoxy-2-naphthyl)acetonitrile (CAS 71056-96-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H11NO, MW 197.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C13H11NO, 2-(6-Methoxy-2-naphthyl)acetonitrile contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 197.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
