Chemical Structure

2-Methylmalonaldehyde CAS 16002-19-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Methylmalonaldehyde.

CATO supplies 2-Methylmalonaldehyde (CAS 16002-19-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H6O2, MW 86.09 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-Methylmalonaldehyde (C4H6O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.
