Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-(2-nitrophenyl)propanoate CAS 1664-65-9 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 3-(2-nitrophenyl)propanoate (CAS 1664-65-9), molecular formula C10H11NO4 and molecular weight 209.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 3-(2-nitrophenyl)propanoate (C10H11NO4) 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. 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.

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.
