Chemical Structure

2-Cyclohexyl-4,6-Dinitrophenol CAS 131-89-5 chemical structure

Description

2-Cyclohexyl-4,6-Dinitrophenol (CAS 131-89-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14N2O5 and a molecular weight of 266.25 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Cyclohexyl-4,6-Dinitrophenol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
