Chemical Structure

2-Cyano-2,2-dimethylacetamide CAS 7505-93-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-Cyano-2,2-dimethylacetamide (CAS 7505-93-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H8N2O, MW 112.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Cyano-2,2-dimethylacetamide is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 112.13 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.

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.
