Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-hydroxy-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate CAS 4086-14-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

Ethyl 4-hydroxy-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate (CAS 4086-14-0), molecular formula C7H11NO4 and molecular weight 173.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 4-hydroxy-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.17 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).

CATO manufactures Ethyl 4-hydroxy-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate 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.
