Chemical Structure

1-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid CAS 149621-69-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid.

1-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 149621-69-2), molecular formula C6H6N2O4 and molecular weight 170.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (C6H6N2O4) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
