Chemical Structure

1,6-Diacetyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1H,3H)-dione CAS 28773-97-9 chemical structure

Description

1,6-Diacetyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1H,3H)-dione (C8H10N4O4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

1,6-Diacetyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1H,3H)-dione (CAS 28773-97-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H10N4O4 and a molecular weight of 226.19 g/mol.

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.
