Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 208.22 g/mol gives 2-(3-Cyanobenzoyl)pyridine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-(3-Cyanobenzoyl)pyridine (CAS 898779-84-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H8N2O and a molecular weight of 208.22 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(3-Cyanobenzoyl)pyridine is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 208.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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-(3-Cyanobenzoyl)pyridine 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.
