Ethyl 2-oxo-2-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetate (CAS 33656-63-2), molecular formula C7H7NO3S and molecular weight 185.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 2-oxo-2-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetate (C7H7NO3S) is characterized by an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
