Chemical Structure

(Z)-Pent-2-enedioic acid CAS 505-36-2 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of (Z)-Pent-2-enedioic acid (C5H6O4) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. 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 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 supplies (Z)-Pent-2-enedioic acid (CAS 505-36-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H6O4, MW 130.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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), (Z)-Pent-2-enedioic acid 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.
