4-Hydroxy-2-methylenebutanoic acid CAS 24923-76-0 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 4-Hydroxy-2-methylenebutanoic acid.

4-Hydroxy-2-methylenebutanoic acid (CAS 24923-76-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H8O3 and a molecular weight of 116.12 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C5H8O3, 4-Hydroxy-2-methylenebutanoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 116.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
