The occurrence of (+/-)-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid 2,3-Dideoxypentaric acid 2-Hydroxyglutarate 2-Hydroxyglutaric acid 2-Hydroxypentanedioic acid 2889-31-8 DL-2-Hydroxyglutaric Glutaric acid, 2-hydroxy- Glutaric acid, 2-hydroxy- (6CI,7CI,8CI) Pentanedioic acid, 2-hydroxy- Pentanedioic acid, 2-hydroxy- (9CI) alpha-Hydroxyglutarate alpha-Hydroxyglutaric acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
(+/-)-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid 2,3-Dideoxypentaric acid 2-Hydroxyglutarate 2-Hydroxyglutaric acid 2-Hydroxypentanedioic acid 2889-31-8 DL-2-Hydroxyglutaric Glutaric acid, 2-hydroxy- Glutaric acid, 2-hydroxy- (6CI,7CI,8CI) Pentanedioic acid, 2-hydroxy- Pentanedioic acid, 2-hydroxy- (9CI) alpha-Hydroxyglutarate alpha-Hydroxyglutaric acid (CAS 2889-31-8), molecular formula C5H8O5 and molecular weight 148.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, (+/-)-2-Hydroxyglutaric acid 2,3-Dideoxypentaric acid 2-Hydroxyglutarate 2-Hydroxyglutaric acid 2-Hydroxypentanedioic acid 2889-31-8 DL-2-Hydroxyglutaric Glutaric acid, 2-hydroxy- Glutaric acid, 2-hydroxy- (6CI,7CI,8CI) Pentanedioic acid, 2-hydroxy- Pentanedioic acid, 2-hydroxy- (9CI) alpha-Hydroxyglutarate alpha-Hydroxyglutaric acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 148.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.
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.
