Chemical Structure

3-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-one CAS 18132-98-4 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 3-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-one (C5H8O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

CATO supplies 3-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-one (CAS 18132-98-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H8O3, MW 116.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-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.
