Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-cyano-4-nitrobenzoate CAS 1628431-64-0 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.

Methyl 2-cyano-4-nitrobenzoate (CAS 1628431-64-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H6N2O4 and a molecular weight of 206.15 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C9H6N2O4, Methyl 2-cyano-4-nitrobenzoate 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 206.15 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
