Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzaldehyde CAS 2460-59-5 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-Hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzaldehyde (C7H4N2O6) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

CATO supplies 2-Hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzaldehyde (CAS 2460-59-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H4N2O6, MW 212.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzaldehyde meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
