Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 160.12 g/mol gives (R)-1-(Carboxy(hydroxy)methyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
(R)-1-(Carboxy(hydroxy)methyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (CAS 225518-74-1), molecular formula C6H8O5 and molecular weight 160.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (R)-1-(Carboxy(hydroxy)methyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (C6H8O5) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
CATO manufactures (R)-1-(Carboxy(hydroxy)methyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
