The occurrence of 2-Ethoxy-4-nitro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-Ethoxy-4-nitro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid (CAS 195817-91-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H7N3O5, MW 201.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-Ethoxy-4-nitro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid (C6H7N3O5) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
