Chemical Structure

Potassium 2,2',2''-nitrilotriacetate CAS 2399-85-1 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 Potassium 2,2',2''-nitrilotriacetate.

Potassium 2,2',2''-nitrilotriacetate (CAS 2399-85-1), molecular formula C6H6NO6K and molecular weight 227.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C6H6NO6K, Potassium 2,2',2''-nitrilotriacetate contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 227.21 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
