The occurrence of Lithium (Z)-3-carboxyacrylate is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Lithium (Z)-3-carboxyacrylate (CAS 85796-96-9), molecular formula C4H3O4Li and molecular weight 122.00 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, Lithium (Z)-3-carboxyacrylate (C4H3O4Li) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.5, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 122.00 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. 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).
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.
CATO manufactures Lithium (Z)-3-carboxyacrylate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
