Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 2-Nitroethanol is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2-Nitroethanol (CAS 625-48-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C2H5NO3 and a molecular weight of 91.07 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C2H5NO3, 2-Nitroethanol contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 91.07 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
