Chemical Structure

2-(Hydroxymethyl)prop-2-enoic acid CAS 4370-80-3 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 2-(Hydroxymethyl)prop-2-enoic acid.

2-(Hydroxymethyl)prop-2-enoic acid (CAS 4370-80-3), molecular formula C4H6O3 and molecular weight 102.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(Hydroxymethyl)prop-2-enoic acid (C4H6O3) 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Hydroxymethyl)prop-2-enoic acid 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.
