Chemical Structure
Description
Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2(5H)-one.
(R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2(5H)-one (CAS 138760-70-0), molecular formula C5H6O5 and molecular weight 146.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2(5H)-one (C5H6O5) 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).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2(5H)-one meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
