Chemical Structure

(2R,3R,4R)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxypentanoic acid CAS 17812-24-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

(2R,3R,4R)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxypentanoic acid (CAS 17812-24-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H10O6 and a molecular weight of 166.13 g/mol.

(2R,3R,4R)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxypentanoic acid (C5H10O6) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.
