Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 295.35 g/mol gives 2-(4-Benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-6-fluorobenzonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-(4-Benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-6-fluorobenzonitrile (CAS 931084-79-6), molecular formula C18H18FN3 and molecular weight 295.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(4-Benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-6-fluorobenzonitrile (C18H18FN3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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-(4-Benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-6-fluorobenzonitrile 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.
