Chemical Structure

2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane CAS 3964-18-9 chemical structure

Description

2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (CAS 3964-18-9), molecular formula C6H12N2O4 and molecular weight 176.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (C6H12N2O4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), 2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane 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.
