Nitromethane

Nitromethane is a polar nitroalkane solvent widely used in chemical synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. It has the molecular formula CH₃NO₂, a molecular weight of 61.04 g/mol, and is identified by CAS No. 75-52-5. Nitromethane may be present as a residual solvent or process-related impurity, requiring accurate and sensitive analytical monitoring.

Quantitative determination of nitromethane is typically performed using gas chromatography (GC-FID or GC-MS). Laboratories often use GC alkane standards and GC alkene standards for method calibration and performance verification, particularly when analyzing hydrocarbons alongside nitromethane. For more complex matrices, GC chlorinated solvent standards, GC halogenated compound standards, and GC benzene standards are employed in multi-component GC analyses to ensure accurate identification, quantification, and regulatory compliance. High-quality GC standards ensure reproducible results, traceability, and regulatory alignment during method development, system suitability, and routine quality control.
