Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (R)-2-((S)-1,2-Dihydroxyethyl)-4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl octanoate.
(R)-2-((S)-1,2-Dihydroxyethyl)-4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl octanoate (CAS 16690-38-3), molecular formula C14H22O7 and molecular weight 302.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (R)-2-((S)-1,2-Dihydroxyethyl)-4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl octanoate (C14H22O7) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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).
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.
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.
