Chemical Structure

2-Nitro-1-(3-nitrophenyl)ethan-1-ol CAS 18731-45-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Nitro-1-(3-nitrophenyl)ethan-1-ol (CAS 18731-45-8), molecular formula C8H8N2O5 and molecular weight 212.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Nitro-1-(3-nitrophenyl)ethan-1-ol (C8H8N2O5) 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).

CATO manufactures 2-Nitro-1-(3-nitrophenyl)ethan-1-ol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
