Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-cyano-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)acetate CAS 849589-04-4 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 2-cyano-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)acetate (C10H7Cl2NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Methyl 2-cyano-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)acetate (CAS 849589-04-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H7Cl2NO2 and a molecular weight of 244.07 g/mol.

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.
