1,2-Epoxy-3-(4-nitrophenoxy)propane CAS 5255-75-4 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 1,2-Epoxy-3-(4-nitrophenoxy)propane.

CATO supplies 1,2-Epoxy-3-(4-nitrophenoxy)propane (CAS 5255-75-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H9NO4, MW 195.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

1,2-Epoxy-3-(4-nitrophenoxy)propane (C9H9NO4) 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.

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), 1,2-Epoxy-3-(4-nitrophenoxy)propane 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.
