Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-cyano-2-nitrobenzoate CAS 52449-76-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methyl 4-cyano-2-nitrobenzoate (CAS 52449-76-0), molecular formula C9H6N2O4 and molecular weight 206.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Methyl 4-cyano-2-nitrobenzoate (C9H6N2O4) 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures Methyl 4-cyano-2-nitrobenzoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
