Chemical Structure

Dimethyl Fumarate USP Related Compound A CAS 2756-87-8 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Dimethyl Fumarate USP Related Compound A (C5H6O4) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

Dimethyl Fumarate USP Related Compound A (CAS 2756-87-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C5H6O4 and a molecular weight of 130.10 g/mol.

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

CATO manufactures Dimethyl Fumarate USP Related Compound A under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
