(2'-Methyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl) acetonitrile CAS 893734-38-8

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (2'-Methyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl) acetonitrile.

(2'-Methyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl) acetonitrile (CAS 893734-38-8), molecular formula C15H13N and molecular weight 207.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, (2'-Methyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl) acetonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 207.27 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2'-Methyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl) 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.
