2-Amino-5-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile CAS 74396-76-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Amino-5-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (CAS 74396-76-2), molecular formula C8H4ClF3N2 and molecular weight 220.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Amino-5-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (C8H4ClF3N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Amino-5-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile 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.
