Chemical Structure

2-Methoxy-4-nitrobenzonitrile CAS 101084-96-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 178.14 g/mol gives 2-Methoxy-4-nitrobenzonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-Methoxy-4-nitrobenzonitrile (CAS 101084-96-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6N2O3, MW 178.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-Methoxy-4-nitrobenzonitrile (C8H6N2O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
