Chemical Structure

Methanetricarboxylic acid CAS 101687-15-4 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Methanetricarboxylic acid (C4H4O6) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Methanetricarboxylic acid (CAS 101687-15-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H4O6 and a molecular weight of 148.07 g/mol.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
