Chemical Structure

2-Methoxypropanedioic acid CAS 57584-77-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methoxypropanedioic acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Methoxypropanedioic acid (CAS 57584-77-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H6O5 and a molecular weight of 134.09 g/mol.

2-Methoxypropanedioic acid (C4H6O5) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.
