Chemical Structure

3,4-Bis(1-methylhydrazinyl)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione CAS 50376-99-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3,4-Bis(1-methylhydrazinyl)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione.

3,4-Bis(1-methylhydrazinyl)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione (CAS 50376-99-3), molecular formula C6H10N4O2 and molecular weight 170.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 3,4-Bis(1-methylhydrazinyl)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione (C6H10N4O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 170.17 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,4-Bis(1-methylhydrazinyl)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
