Chemical Structure

N-Ethyl-4-methyl-2-nitroaniline CAS 37637-58-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies N-Ethyl-4-methyl-2-nitroaniline (CAS 37637-58-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H12N2O2, MW 180.20 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, N-Ethyl-4-methyl-2-nitroaniline is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.20 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), N-Ethyl-4-methyl-2-nitroaniline meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
