Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 212.25 g/mol gives 2-(((4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl)amino)methylene)malononitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-(((4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl)amino)methylene)malononitrile (CAS 91559-93-2), molecular formula C12H12N4 and molecular weight 212.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(((4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl)amino)methylene)malononitrile (C12H12N4) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
CATO manufactures 2-(((4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl)amino)methylene)malononitrile 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.
