Chemical Structure

4-Methyl-2-nitrobenzoic Acid CAS 27329-27-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Methyl-2-nitrobenzoic Acid is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4-Methyl-2-nitrobenzoic Acid (CAS 27329-27-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7NO4, MW 181.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 4-Methyl-2-nitrobenzoic Acid (C8H7NO4) 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).

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

CATO manufactures 4-Methyl-2-nitrobenzoic Acid 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.
