Chemical Structure

4-Hydroxy-3-methylphenylacetonitrile CAS 73653-24-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Hydroxy-3-methylphenylacetonitrile 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.

4-Hydroxy-3-methylphenylacetonitrile (CAS 73653-24-4), molecular formula C9H9NO and molecular weight 147.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-Hydroxy-3-methylphenylacetonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 147.17 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Hydroxy-3-methylphenylacetonitrile 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.
