Chemical Structure

4-Nitro-2-(2-phenylethyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione CAS 340987-11-3 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-Nitro-2-(2-phenylethyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (C16H12N2O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 296.28 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

4-Nitro-2-(2-phenylethyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (CAS 340987-11-3), molecular formula C16H12N2O4 and molecular weight 296.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

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.
