Chemical Structure

N-Nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine CAS 60599-38-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies N-Nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (CAS 60599-38-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H10N2O3, MW 158.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, N-Nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (C6H10N2O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 158.16 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), N-Nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine 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.
