1,2-Dimethoxy-4,5-dinitrobenzene CAS 3395-03-7 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 1,2-Dimethoxy-4,5-dinitrobenzene.

1,2-Dimethoxy-4,5-dinitrobenzene (CAS 3395-03-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8N2O6 and a molecular weight of 228.16 g/mol.

Structurally, 1,2-Dimethoxy-4,5-dinitrobenzene (C8H8N2O6) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 228.16 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
