The occurrence of (2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidin-1-yl)acetic acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
(2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidin-1-yl)acetic acid (CAS 128044-11-1), molecular formula C5H4N2O5 and molecular weight 172.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, (2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidin-1-yl)acetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
