Chemical Structure
Description
CATO manufactures Methyl 2-nitropropanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
Methyl 2-nitropropanoate (CAS 6118-50-9), molecular formula C4H7NO4 and molecular weight 133.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, Methyl 2-nitropropanoate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 133.10 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
