4,5-dimethyl 2-[bis(methoxycarbonyl)-2H-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene]-2H-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate (C14H12O8S4) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
4,5-dimethyl 2-[bis(methoxycarbonyl)-2H-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene]-2H-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate (CAS 26314-39-6), molecular formula C14H12O8S4 and molecular weight 436.50 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
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.
