Chemical Structure

6-Chloroquinoline-4-carbonitrile CAS 854864-08-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Chloroquinoline-4-carbonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 6-Chloroquinoline-4-carbonitrile (CAS 854864-08-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H5ClN2, MW 188.61 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 6-Chloroquinoline-4-carbonitrile (C10H5ClN2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
