Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-2-nitrophenylurea CAS 7153-86-8 chemical structure

Description

4-Chloro-2-nitrophenylurea (CAS 7153-86-8), molecular formula C7H6ClN3O3 and molecular weight 215.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-Chloro-2-nitrophenylurea (C7H6ClN3O3) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 215.59 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

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.
