Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-4-fluorobenzyl cyanide CAS 75279-56-0 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.

CATO supplies 2-Chloro-4-fluorobenzyl cyanide (CAS 75279-56-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H5ClFN, MW 169.58 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-Chloro-4-fluorobenzyl cyanide (C8H5ClFN) 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

CATO manufactures 2-Chloro-4-fluorobenzyl cyanide under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
