Chemical Structure

4-Pyreneacetic Acid CAS 22245-55-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 260.29 g/mol gives 4-Pyreneacetic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-Pyreneacetic Acid (CAS 22245-55-2), molecular formula C18H12O2 and molecular weight 260.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-Pyreneacetic Acid (C18H12O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Pyreneacetic Acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
