Chemical Structure

5-Methoxy-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline CAS 106579-00-4 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C8H10N2O3, 5-Methoxy-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 182.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
