Chemical Structure

(R)-3-cyclopentyl-2-hydroxypropanoic acid CAS 174221-31-9 chemical structure

Description

(R)-3-cyclopentyl-2-hydroxypropanoic acid (CAS 174221-31-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H14O3 and a molecular weight of 158.19 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (R)-3-cyclopentyl-2-hydroxypropanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.
