Chemical Structure

Trans-Aconitic Acid CAS 4023-65-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 174.11 g/mol gives Trans-Aconitic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Trans-Aconitic Acid (CAS 4023-65-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H6O6, MW 174.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C6H6O6, Trans-Aconitic Acid contains a carbohydrate-derived structure; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 174.11 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

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.
