Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Diethyl 2-phenylpyrimidine-4,5-dicarboxylate.
Diethyl 2-phenylpyrimidine-4,5-dicarboxylate (CAS 33299-33-1), molecular formula C16H16N2O4 and molecular weight 300.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Diethyl 2-phenylpyrimidine-4,5-dicarboxylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 300.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
