Chemical Structure

(2R,3R)-3-(Methoxycarbonyl)oxirane-2-carboxylic acid CAS 150134-07-9 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, (2R,3R)-3-(Methoxycarbonyl)oxirane-2-carboxylic acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 146.10 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).

CATO supplies (2R,3R)-3-(Methoxycarbonyl)oxirane-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 150134-07-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H6O5, MW 146.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

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.
