Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (2Z,2'Z)-4,4'-(Naphthalene-1,5-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(4-oxobut-2-enoic acid).
(2Z,2'Z)-4,4'-(Naphthalene-1,5-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(4-oxobut-2-enoic acid) (CAS 5443-26-5), molecular formula C18H14N2O6 and molecular weight 354.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (2Z,2'Z)-4,4'-(Naphthalene-1,5-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(4-oxobut-2-enoic acid) (C18H14N2O6) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (2Z,2'Z)-4,4'-(Naphthalene-1,5-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(4-oxobut-2-enoic 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.
