Description

5988-53-4 WXS4GY9Q24 Hydroorotic acid, D- UNII-WXS4GY9Q24 Hydroorotic acid D-form [MI] 4-Pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, hexahydro-2,6-dioxo-, (4R)- Hydroorotic acid D-form D-4,5-dihydroorotic acid D-Hydroorotic acid (CAS 5988-53-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H6N2O4 and a molecular weight of 158.11 g/mol.

5988-53-4 WXS4GY9Q24 Hydroorotic acid, D- UNII-WXS4GY9Q24 Hydroorotic acid D-form [MI] 4-Pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, hexahydro-2,6-dioxo-, (4R)- Hydroorotic acid D-form D-4,5-dihydroorotic acid D-Hydroorotic acid (C5H6N2O4) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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

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.
