Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 309.36 g/mol gives 2,4-Di-tert-butyl-6-nitrophenyl methyl carbonate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,4-Di-tert-butyl-6-nitrophenyl methyl carbonate (CAS 873055-56-2), molecular formula C16H23NO5 and molecular weight 309.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2,4-Di-tert-butyl-6-nitrophenyl methyl carbonate (C16H23NO5) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 309.36 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
