Chemical Structure

(+/-)-4-Methyl-2-azetidinone CAS 5303-64-0 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 (+/-)-4-Methyl-2-azetidinone.

CATO supplies (+/-)-4-Methyl-2-azetidinone (CAS 5303-64-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H7NO, MW 85.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C4H7NO, (+/-)-4-Methyl-2-azetidinone contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 85.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

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.
