Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-hydroxy-4-nitro-2-naphthoate CAS 5394-81-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Methyl 3-hydroxy-4-nitro-2-naphthoate (CAS 5394-81-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H9NO5, MW 247.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl 3-hydroxy-4-nitro-2-naphthoate (C12H9NO5) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
