Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Sodium 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate.
Sodium 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate (CAS 7063-21-0), molecular formula C9H7O3Na and molecular weight 186.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, Sodium 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate (C9H7O3Na) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.5, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 186.14 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
