Chemical Structure

2-Ethylhexyl 4-(N-Methyl-N-Nitrosamino)-Benzoate CAS 122021-01-6 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.

2-Ethylhexyl 4-(N-Methyl-N-Nitrosamino)-Benzoate (CAS 122021-01-6), molecular formula C16H24N2O3 and molecular weight 292.37 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Ethylhexyl 4-(N-Methyl-N-Nitrosamino)-Benzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 292.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
