Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(5-bromo-3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetate CAS 70965-30-9 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 2-(5-bromo-3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetate (CAS 70965-30-9), molecular formula C5H5BrN4O4 and molecular weight 265.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, bromine substitution, Methyl 2-(5-bromo-3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 265.02 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 2-(5-bromo-3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetate 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.
