Chemical Structure

3-Ethyl-4-fluorobenzonitrile CAS 869299-63-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 3-Ethyl-4-fluorobenzonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 149.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

3-Ethyl-4-fluorobenzonitrile (CAS 869299-63-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8FN and a molecular weight of 149.16 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.

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.
