Chemical Structure

Aconitic Acid CAS 499-12-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Aconitic Acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Aconitic Acid (CAS 499-12-7), 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, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

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.
