Methyl 2-(oxiran-2-yl)acetate CAS 4509-09-5 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Methyl 2-(oxiran-2-yl)acetate (CAS 4509-09-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H8O3 and a molecular weight of 116.12 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-(oxiran-2-yl)acetate (C5H8O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

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.
