N-Acetyl-2-O-methyl-α-neuraminic Acid Methyl Ester 4,7,8,9-Tetraacetate CAS 73208-80-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including N-Acetyl-2-O-methyl-α-neuraminic Acid Methyl Ester 4,7,8,9-Tetraacetate.

N-Acetyl-2-O-methyl-α-neuraminic Acid Methyl Ester 4,7,8,9-Tetraacetate (CAS 73208-80-7), molecular formula C21H31NO13 and molecular weight 505.47 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, N-Acetyl-2-O-methyl-α-neuraminic Acid Methyl Ester 4,7,8,9-Tetraacetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 505.47 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
