Chemical Structure

2-(2,6-Dinitrophenyl)acetic acid CAS 37777-63-2 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 2-(2,6-Dinitrophenyl)acetic acid.

2-(2,6-Dinitrophenyl)acetic acid (CAS 37777-63-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6N2O6 and a molecular weight of 226.14 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-(2,6-Dinitrophenyl)acetic acid (C8H6N2O6) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 226.14 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).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(2,6-Dinitrophenyl)acetic acid 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.
