Chemical Structure

1-(Chloromethoxy)-4-nitrobenzene CAS 14790-63-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 1-(Chloromethoxy)-4-nitrobenzene (CAS 14790-63-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6ClNO3, MW 187.58 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1-(Chloromethoxy)-4-nitrobenzene (C7H6ClNO3) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.

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.
