Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-nitro-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate CAS 2110793-02-5 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 5-nitro-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate (C5H5N3O4) 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 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).

Methyl 5-nitro-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate (CAS 2110793-02-5), molecular formula C5H5N3O4 and molecular weight 171.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
