3-Phosphonobutanoic acid (CAS 4422-66-6), molecular formula C4H9O5P and molecular weight 168.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 3-Phosphonobutanoic 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.
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.
