5-Bromo-2-methoxy-3-nitrobenzonitrile CAS 855290-36-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

5-Bromo-2-methoxy-3-nitrobenzonitrile (CAS 855290-36-7), molecular formula C8H5BrN2O3 and molecular weight 257.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-Bromo-2-methoxy-3-nitrobenzonitrile (C8H5BrN2O3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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.

CATO manufactures 5-Bromo-2-methoxy-3-nitrobenzonitrile 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.
