4-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-one CAS 36679-81-9 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-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-one.

4-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-one (CAS 36679-81-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H8O3 and a molecular weight of 116.12 g/mol.

4-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-one (C5H8O3) 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-one meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
