Chemical Structure

2-(2-Chloro-5-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetonitrile CAS 866042-32-2 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.

CATO supplies 2-(2-Chloro-5-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetonitrile (CAS 866042-32-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H10Cl2N2O2, MW 321.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C15H10Cl2N2O2, 2-(2-Chloro-5-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetonitrile contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 321.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(2-Chloro-5-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetonitrile meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
