Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(cyanomethyl)-3-nitrobenzoate CAS 90771-65-6 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 2-(cyanomethyl)-3-nitrobenzoate (CAS 90771-65-6), molecular formula C10H8N2O4 and molecular weight 220.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 2-(cyanomethyl)-3-nitrobenzoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 220.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Methyl 2-(cyanomethyl)-3-nitrobenzoate 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.
