The occurrence of Methyl 5-Benzyloxy-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzoate is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Methyl 5-Benzyloxy-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzoate (CAS 164161-49-3), molecular formula C16H15NO6 and molecular weight 317.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 5-Benzyloxy-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 317.29 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.
