Chemical Structure

Dimethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)malonate CAS 42937-74-6 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.

Dimethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)malonate (CAS 42937-74-6), molecular formula C5H7NO5 and molecular weight 161.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C5H7NO5, Dimethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)malonate contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 161.11 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).

CATO manufactures Dimethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)malonate 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.
