Chemical Structure

4,5-Dihydroxy-1,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)imidazolidin-2-one CAS 1854-26-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4,5-Dihydroxy-1,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)imidazolidin-2-one is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4,5-Dihydroxy-1,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)imidazolidin-2-one (CAS 1854-26-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H10N2O5, MW 178.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

4,5-Dihydroxy-1,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)imidazolidin-2-one (C5H10N2O5) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
