2,2,2-Trichloro-1-(5-nitro-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethanone CAS 53391-41-6 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 2,2,2-Trichloro-1-(5-nitro-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethanone (CAS 53391-41-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H3Cl3N2O3, MW 257.46 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2,2,2-Trichloro-1-(5-nitro-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethanone is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 257.46 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
