Chemical Structure

4-((4-Nitrophenoxy)methyl)pyridine CAS 252918-98-2 chemical structure

Description

4-((4-Nitrophenoxy)methyl)pyridine (CAS 252918-98-2), molecular formula C12H10N2O3 and molecular weight 230.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-((4-Nitrophenoxy)methyl)pyridine (C12H10N2O3) 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 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 4-((4-Nitrophenoxy)methyl)pyridine 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.
