Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 2,3-Dihydroxy-2,3-dimethylsuccinic acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2,3-Dihydroxy-2,3-dimethylsuccinic acid (CAS 74543-88-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H10O6 and a molecular weight of 178.14 g/mol.
2,3-Dihydroxy-2,3-dimethylsuccinic acid (C6H10O6) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.
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.
