Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 180.98 g/mol gives (3S,4S)-3-Bromo-4-hydroxydihydrofuran-2(3H)-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
(3S,4S)-3-Bromo-4-hydroxydihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (CAS 117858-88-5), molecular formula C4H5BrO3 and molecular weight 180.98 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
(3S,4S)-3-Bromo-4-hydroxydihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (C4H5BrO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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 (3S,4S)-3-Bromo-4-hydroxydihydrofuran-2(3H)-one 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.
