Chemical Structure

2-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic Acid CAS 112894-37-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 204.18 g/mol gives 2-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic Acid (CAS 112894-37-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H12O6, MW 204.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic Acid (C8H12O6) 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 2-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic Acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
