Chemical Structure

2-{4-[(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}benzonitrile CAS 941083-76-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 2-{4-[(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}benzonitrile (CAS 941083-76-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H16N2O, MW 276.33 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-{4-[(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl]phenyl}benzonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 276.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
