Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-nitropropionate CAS 2531-80-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-nitropropionate is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 2-nitropropionate (CAS 2531-80-8), molecular formula C5H9NO4 and molecular weight 147.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C5H9NO4, Ethyl 2-nitropropionate contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 147.13 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-nitropropionate 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.
