Chemical Structure

(E)-4-(2-Nitrophenyl)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid CAS 80937-24-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies (E)-4-(2-Nitrophenyl)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (CAS 80937-24-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H7NO5, MW 221.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(E)-4-(2-Nitrophenyl)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid (C10H7NO5) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
