CATO supplies 4-Acetyl-2-nitrophenyl pivalate (CAS 87661-91-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H15NO5, MW 265.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
4-Acetyl-2-nitrophenyl pivalate (C13H15NO5) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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. 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 4-Acetyl-2-nitrophenyl pivalate 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.
