Chemical Structure

3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl)furan-2(5H)-one CAS 26566-39-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl)furan-2(5H)-one is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl)furan-2(5H)-one (CAS 26566-39-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H10O7, MW 206.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl)furan-2(5H)-one (C7H10O7) 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.

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.
