Chemical Structure

Uracil-5-carboxylicacid CAS 23945-44-0 chemical structure

Description

Uracil-5-carboxylicacid (C5H4N2O4) 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.

Uracil-5-carboxylicacid (CAS 23945-44-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H4N2O4 and a molecular weight of 156.10 g/mol.

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