Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of Methyl 2-(2-methyl-3-nitrophenyl)acetate 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.
Methyl 2-(2-methyl-3-nitrophenyl)acetate (CAS 340960-41-0), molecular formula C10H11NO4 and molecular weight 209.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 2-(2-methyl-3-nitrophenyl)acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 209.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
