Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxyhexanedioic Acid CAS 18294-85-4 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 2-Hydroxyhexanedioic Acid.

CATO supplies 2-Hydroxyhexanedioic Acid (CAS 18294-85-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H10O5, MW 162.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C6H10O5, 2-Hydroxyhexanedioic Acid contains a carbohydrate-derived structure; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 162.14 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
