1-(2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-nitrosourea (CAS 89854-43-3), molecular formula C7H9N5O5 and molecular weight 243.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C7H9N5O5, 1-(2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-nitrosourea contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 243.18 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.
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.
