Chemical Structure

Dimethyl nitromalonate CAS 5437-67-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Dimethyl nitromalonate is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Dimethyl nitromalonate (CAS 5437-67-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H7NO6, MW 177.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C5H7NO6, Dimethyl nitromalonate contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 177.11 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), Dimethyl nitromalonate 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.
