Description

3-Nitro-7,8,9,10-Tetrahydrobenzo(A)Pyrene CAS NO 88598-57-6 is a high-purity, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, specifically a nitrated tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene. This compound is a critical advanced intermediate and reference standard for research and development in analytical chemistry and environmental science. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and specialty chemical manufacturers engaged in the study of nitro-PAHs, their metabolites, and environmental pollutants.

Application

• Environmental Analysis Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) or analytical standard for the detection and quantification of nitro-PAHs in soil, air particulate matter, and water samples via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
• Toxicological Research: Serves as a key intermediate or test compound in studies investigating the mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and metabolic pathways of nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a specialized building block for the synthesis of more complex PAH derivatives, dyes, or functional materials in advanced organic chemistry.
• Pharmaceutical Research: May be employed in early-stage discovery research as a molecular scaffold or probe for studying biological interactions related to PAH exposure.
• Forensic and Regulatory Science: Used for method development and calibration in laboratories monitoring compliance with environmental regulations concerning persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
