Description

1-Nitrobenzo(e)pyrene is a high-purity nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (nitro-PAH) derivative, identified by CAS NO 91259-16-4. This compound is of significant value as a critical reference standard and a key intermediate in advanced organic synthesis and environmental toxicology research. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and chemical manufacturers engaged in the study of nitro-PAHs, which are important environmental pollutants and subjects of metabolic and carcinogenicity investigations.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the calibration of analytical instruments (HPLC, GC-MS) in environmental monitoring and food safety testing.
• Toxicological Research: Serves as a crucial reagent in studies investigating the metabolism, DNA adduct formation, and carcinogenic mechanisms of nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a building block for the synthesis of more complex chemical derivatives used in specialized material science and pharmaceutical research.
• Environmental Analysis: Employed in method development and quality control for detecting and quantifying nitro-PAH contaminants in air particulate matter, soil, and water samples.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Essential for fundamental chemical research and the development of new analytical methodologies in chemistry and environmental science departments.
