Chemical Structure

2,2',2'',2'''-(Butane-2,3-diylbis(azanetriyl))tetraacetic acid CAS 2458-58-4 chemical structure

Description

2,2',2'',2'''-(Butane-2,3-diylbis(azanetriyl))tetraacetic acid (CAS 2458-58-4), molecular formula C12H20N2O8 and molecular weight 320.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2,2',2'',2'''-(Butane-2,3-diylbis(azanetriyl))tetraacetic acid (C12H20N2O8) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 320.30 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
