Chemical Structure

potassium 2,4-dioxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-ide CAS 55755-38-9 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, potassium 2,4-dioxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-ide (C3H2NO3K) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.5, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 139.15 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

CATO supplies potassium 2,4-dioxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-ide (CAS 55755-38-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H2NO3K, MW 139.15 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.

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.
