2-(Hexahydro-1H-pyrrolizin-7a-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 78449-75-9), molecular formula C9H14N2 and molecular weight 150.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2-(Hexahydro-1H-pyrrolizin-7a-yl)acetonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 150.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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-(Hexahydro-1H-pyrrolizin-7a-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.
