Chemical Structure

3-(4-Methoxybenzoyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione CAS 6343-29-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(4-Methoxybenzoyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(4-Methoxybenzoyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (CAS 6343-29-9), molecular formula C12H11NO4 and molecular weight 233.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(4-Methoxybenzoyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 233.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 3-(4-Methoxybenzoyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione 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.
