Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-n-(1-cyanocyclopentyl)acetamide CAS 78734-65-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-n-(1-cyanocyclopentyl)acetamide meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

2-Chloro-n-(1-cyanocyclopentyl)acetamide (CAS 78734-65-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H11ClN2O and a molecular weight of 186.64 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-Chloro-n-(1-cyanocyclopentyl)acetamide is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 186.64 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
