Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)acetic acid.
2-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)acetic acid (CAS 720706-28-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H11N3O2 and a molecular weight of 145.16 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C5H11N3O2, 2-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)acetic acid contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 145.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
