Chemical Structure

2-(1-Benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-2-phenylacetonitrile CAS 7254-21-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(1-Benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-2-phenylacetonitrile.

2-(1-Benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-2-phenylacetonitrile (CAS 7254-21-9), molecular formula C20H22N2 and molecular weight 290.40 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2-(1-Benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-2-phenylacetonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 290.40 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(1-Benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-2-phenylacetonitrile 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.
