Chemical Structure

1-Ethyl-3-(6-hydroxyhexyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione CAS 588672-38-2 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 1-Ethyl-3-(6-hydroxyhexyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (CAS 588672-38-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H21NO3, MW 227.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1-Ethyl-3-(6-hydroxyhexyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (C12H21NO3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.
