Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-cyano-3-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylate CAS 5470-58-6 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2-cyano-3-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylate (C12H10N2O4) 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).

Ethyl 2-cyano-3-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylate (CAS 5470-58-6), molecular formula C12H10N2O4 and molecular weight 246.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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), Ethyl 2-cyano-3-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylate 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.
