Chemical Structure

1-(3-Nitrophenyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione CAS 31036-66-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-(3-Nitrophenyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione.

CATO supplies 1-(3-Nitrophenyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (CAS 31036-66-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8N2O4, MW 220.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1-(3-Nitrophenyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 220.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
