Chemical Structure

2-(4-Isopropoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile CAS 861069-45-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 205.25 g/mol gives 2-(4-Isopropoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-(4-Isopropoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile (CAS 861069-45-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H15NO2, MW 205.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(4-Isopropoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 205.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(4-Isopropoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)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.
