Chemical Structure

Phosphoenolpyruvic acid CAS 138-08-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.04 g/mol gives Phosphoenolpyruvic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Phosphoenolpyruvic acid (CAS 138-08-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H5O6P, MW 168.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Phosphoenolpyruvic acid (C3H5O6P) is characterized by a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid 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.

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 Phosphoenolpyruvic 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.
