Chemical Structure

DL-4-Hydroxy-2-ketoglutarate dilithium salt CAS 1187-99-1 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of DL-4-Hydroxy-2-ketoglutarate dilithium salt (C5H6O6) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

CATO supplies DL-4-Hydroxy-2-ketoglutarate dilithium salt (CAS 1187-99-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H6O6, MW 162.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
