The occurrence of Glycerin 2-acetate is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Glycerin 2-acetate (CAS 100-78-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H10O4 and a molecular weight of 134.13 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C5H10O4, Glycerin 2-acetate contains a carbohydrate-derived structure; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 134.13 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
