Chemical Structure

2-(Pyrimidin-4-yl)acetonitrile CAS 794522-90-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 119.12 g/mol gives 2-(Pyrimidin-4-yl)acetonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-(Pyrimidin-4-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 794522-90-0), molecular formula C6H5N3 and molecular weight 119.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrile group, an aromatic ring system, 2-(Pyrimidin-4-yl)acetonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 119.12 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.

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.
