Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol CAS 77-49-6 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C4H9NO4, 2-Methyl-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 135.12 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.

CATO supplies 2-Methyl-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol (CAS 77-49-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H9NO4, MW 135.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
