Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-(o-tolyl)acetate.
Methyl 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-(o-tolyl)acetate (CAS 1980039-08-4), molecular formula C16H15NO4 and molecular weight 285.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Methyl 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-(o-tolyl)acetate (C16H15NO4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, 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 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.
