Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 184.11 g/mol gives 4-Formyl-3-nitro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
4-Formyl-3-nitro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 36131-57-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H4N2O5 and a molecular weight of 184.11 g/mol.
4-Formyl-3-nitro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (C6H4N2O5) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
