Chemical Structure

4,6-Pyrimidinedicarboxylic Acid CAS 16490-02-1 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 4,6-Pyrimidinedicarboxylic Acid.

4,6-Pyrimidinedicarboxylic Acid (CAS 16490-02-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H4N2O4 and a molecular weight of 168.11 g/mol.

Structurally, 4,6-Pyrimidinedicarboxylic Acid (C6H4N2O4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 168.11 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
