Chemical Structure

Imipenem intermediate: p-Nitrobenzyl Ester CAS 74288-40-7 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Imipenem intermediate: p-Nitrobenzyl Ester (C16H16N2O7) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Imipenem intermediate: p-Nitrobenzyl Ester (CAS 74288-40-7), molecular formula C16H16N2O7 and molecular weight 348.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
