Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 212.16 g/mol gives (2-Methyl-3,5-dinitrophenyl)methanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
(2-Methyl-3,5-dinitrophenyl)methanol (CAS 80866-94-0), molecular formula C8H8N2O5 and molecular weight 212.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2-Methyl-3,5-dinitrophenyl)methanol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 212.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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 (2-Methyl-3,5-dinitrophenyl)methanol 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.
