5-Methoxy-2-phenylbenzonitrile CAS 934691-48-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 5-Methoxy-2-phenylbenzonitrile (CAS 934691-48-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H12O2, MW 212.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 5-Methoxy-2-phenylbenzonitrile (C14H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 212.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
