Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 196.20 g/mol gives 5-phenoxypyridine-2-carbonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
5-phenoxypyridine-2-carbonitrile (CAS 75580-03-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H8N2O and a molecular weight of 196.20 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-phenoxypyridine-2-carbonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
