Chemical Structure

Ethyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate CAS 24915-95-5 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 Ethyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate.

Ethyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (CAS 24915-95-5), molecular formula C6H12O3 and molecular weight 132.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Ethyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (C6H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.
