3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxopentanedioic acid CAS 112428-39-4 chemical structure

Description

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

3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxopentanedioic acid (CAS 112428-39-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H10O5 and a molecular weight of 174.15 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3,3-Dimethyl-2-oxopentanedioic acid (C7H10O5) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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).

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.
