Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxymandelic acid CAS 17119-15-2 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 3-Hydroxymandelic acid.

3-Hydroxymandelic acid (CAS 17119-15-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H14O4 and a molecular weight of 174.19 g/mol.

3-Hydroxymandelic acid (C8H14O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.
