Chemical Structure

3-Nitropropionic Acid CAS 504-88-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Nitropropionic Acid is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3-Nitropropionic Acid (CAS 504-88-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H5NO4, MW 119.08 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-Nitropropionic Acid (C3H5NO4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 119.08 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. 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), 3-Nitropropionic 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.
