Chemical Structure

2-Phosphonobutyric acid CAS 4378-40-9 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 2-Phosphonobutyric acid.

2-Phosphonobutyric acid (CAS 4378-40-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H9O5P and a molecular weight of 168.09 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Phosphonobutyric acid (C4H9O5P) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, a phosphate ester group. 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.

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.

CATO manufactures 2-Phosphonobutyric acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
