4-Diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol (CDP-ME (CAS 263016-94-0), molecular formula C14H25N3O14P2 and molecular weight 521.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 4-Diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol (CDP-ME (C14H25N3O14P2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a phosphate ester 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 521.31 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
