Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 186.12 g/mol gives Buta-1,3-diene-1,1,4-tricarboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Buta-1,3-diene-1,1,4-tricarboxylic acid (CAS 59826-67-4), molecular formula C7H6O6 and molecular weight 186.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Buta-1,3-diene-1,1,4-tricarboxylic acid (C7H6O6) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).
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), Buta-1,3-diene-1,1,4-tricarboxylic 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.
