Chemical Structure

2-(Benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile CAS 75444-80-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 173.23 g/mol gives 2-(Benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-(Benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 75444-80-3), molecular formula C10H7NS and molecular weight 173.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, 2-(Benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.23 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(Benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)acetonitrile 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.
