6006-54-8 oxalacetic acid-anhydride (CAS 6006-54-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H2O4 and a molecular weight of 114.06 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 6006-54-8 oxalacetic acid-anhydride (C4H2O4) 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.
