Chemical Structure

2-(3-Amino-2,6-dichlorophenyl)acetonitrile CAS 850451-79-5 chemical structure

Description

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

2-(3-Amino-2,6-dichlorophenyl)acetonitrile (CAS 850451-79-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6Cl2N2 and a molecular weight of 201.05 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 2-(3-Amino-2,6-dichlorophenyl)acetonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 201.05 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

CATO manufactures 2-(3-Amino-2,6-dichlorophenyl)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.
