Chemical Structure

2-Butenedioic acid (2Z)-, 1,4-dimethyl ester, polymer with ethenol and ethenyl acetate CAS 68957-99-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Butenedioic acid (2Z)-, 1,4-dimethyl ester, polymer with ethenol and ethenyl acetate (CAS 68957-99-3), molecular formula C6H8O4C4H6O2C2H4O and molecular weight 274.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Butenedioic acid (2Z)-, 1,4-dimethyl ester, polymer with ethenol and ethenyl acetate (C6H8O4C4H6O2C2H4O) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
