Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 243.21 g/mol gives 3-(4-Nitrophenoxy)benzaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3-(4-Nitrophenoxy)benzaldehyde (CAS 17076-72-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H9NO4 and a molecular weight of 243.21 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(4-Nitrophenoxy)benzaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 243.21 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).
