CATO supplies Methyl 2-((1R,3S)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-oxopropyl)cyclopropyl)acetate (CAS 54878-01-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H18O3, MW 198.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, Methyl 2-((1R,3S)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-oxopropyl)cyclopropyl)acetate (C11H18O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 198.26 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.
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.
