Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenoxy)acetate CAS 85196-34-5 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2-(2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenoxy)acetate (CAS 85196-34-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H12N2O7 and a molecular weight of 284.22 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 2-(2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenoxy)acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 284.22 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-(2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenoxy)acetate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
