Chemical Structure

2-(5-Methoxy-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)acetic acid CAS 682346-79-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(5-Methoxy-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)acetic 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.

2-(5-Methoxy-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)acetic acid (CAS 682346-79-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H6N4O3 and a molecular weight of 158.12 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-(5-Methoxy-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)acetic acid (C4H6N4O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 158.12 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
