Chemical Structure

2-Butenedioic acid (2E)-, di-C12-14-alkyl esters, polymers with Et vinyl ether and vinyl acetate CAS 68988-67-0 chemical structure

Description

2-Butenedioic acid (2E)-, di-C12-14-alkyl esters, polymers with Et vinyl ether and vinyl acetate (CAS 68988-67-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H4O4C4H6O2C4H6O and a molecular weight of 272.25 g/mol.

2-Butenedioic acid (2E)-, di-C12-14-alkyl esters, polymers with Et vinyl ether and vinyl acetate (C4H4O4C4H6O2C4H6O) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

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.
